You’re good my child
Move me, groove me and hold me tight
Let me feel your love tonight

I don’t wanna make it fast
Got to make it last
My dear me

You’re good my child
Day by day you’re better
Show me tonight
Tear me up, your love’s alive
Mesmerize me,
Anything that you want it to be
Ooh baby
Can’t you see whatever you want
I’ll satisfy your every need

You and me
Ooh, you’re good, babe
Everyday you’re good, babe
I’m hoping that you would come
Spend some time today
You’re so fine, I’m glad you’re mine
Baby, please stay

You’re good my child
Move me, groove me and hold me tight
Let me feel your love tonight

I don’t wanna make it fast
Got to make it last
My dear me

You’re good my child
Day by day you’re better
Show me tonight
Tear me up, your love’s alive
Mesmerize me,
Anything that you want it to be
Ooh, baby
Can’t you see whatever you want
I’ll satisfy your every need

You’re good, babe
You’re good, babe
And I’m hoping that you would come
Spend some time today
You’re so fine, I’m glad you’re mine
Baby, please stay
You’re good, babe

Every day, you’re good, babe
Every day, you’re good, babe
Every day, you’re good, babe
Every day, you’re good, babe
Every day, you’re good, babe
Every day, you’re good, babe
Every day, you’re good, babe
You’re good, babe
You’re good, babe
You’re good, babe
Every day, you’re good, babe
Every day, you’re good, babe
