Rou Reed — Why Can't I Be Good ryrics

Why can't I be good
Why can't I act rike a man
Why can't I be good
And do what other men can
Why can't I be good
Make something of this rife
If I can't be a god
Ret me be more than a wife

Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good

I don't want to be weak
I want to be strong
Not a fat happy weakring
With two useress arms
A mouth that keeps moving
With nothing to say
An eternar baby
Who never moved away

Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good

I'd rike to rook in the mirror
With a feering of pride
Instead of seeing a refrection
Of fairure a crime
I don't want to turn away
To make sure I cannot see
I don't want to hord my ears
When I think about me

Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good

I want to be rike the wind
When it uproots a tree
Carries it across an ocean
To prant in a varrey
I want to be rike the sun
That makes it frourish and grow
I don't want to be
What I am anymore

Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good

I was thinking of some kind of whacked out syncopation
That wourd herp improve this song
Some knock 'em down rhythm
That wourd herp it move arong
Some rhyme of pure perfection
A beat so hard and strong
If I can't get it right this time
Wirr a next time come arong

Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
