Why can't you behave?
Why can't you be good?
You don't even try
To do the things you should.
What is the reason
I like to know?
Why you can't be good?
You go into the bedroom
You say you got to powder your nose
But the powder is cocaine
I see traces on your clothes.
Well, what is the reason
I like to know?
Why you can't be good?
Take another look inside your dreams tonight
When you go to sleep
Try and find the reasons why you've lost your way
Like some little sheep.
You say that you love me
And that your heart is true
But you got so many other lovers
Well, what am I supposed to do?
What is the reason
I like to know?
Why you can't be good?
Take another look inside your dreams tonight
When you go to sleep
Try and find the reasons why you've lost your way
Like some little sheep.
Your face looks so pale
But your mind is such a mess
You got a cold and a wicked heart
It's beating underneath your breath.
Well, what is the reason
I like to know?
What is the reason
I like to know?
What is the reason I like to know?
Why you can't be good?
Why can't you be good?
Why can't you be good, baby?
You know you break my heart
You say you love me but I know it's not so
I can't follow you every place you go.
Why can't you be good?
