Please Be Good to Me

I carried my heart unbuttoned
Across the lonely stage
Where all the fools and actors
Circle like birds of prey
But careful with the rose, she knows
Every word of every scene

O Please be good to me

I let the liar have me
The forger and the cheat
Love is the legal tender
They try to steal from me
But tell me how to lose, what you
Want to give away for free?

O Please be good to me

When love?s light is shining elsewhere
The cold is hard to shake
But when it?s shining on you
The winter melts away
I don?t want to know how so
I just want to feel the heat

O Please be good to me
