Ellen Foley - If You Can't Be Good lyrics
[Ellen Foley - If You Can't Be Good lyrics]
If you can't be good, be careful
If you can't be careful, be tough
If you can't be tough, be lucky
If you're unlucky, don't fall in love
If you can't be wise, be clever
If you can't be clever, be cool
If you can't be cool, be honest
If you're dishonest, don't be cruel
I let my conscience try to guide me
I let my conscience cut and run
I want someone who'll stand beside me
Even after all the things I'vе done
If you can't be free, be patiеnt
If you can't be patient, be right
If you can't be right, take it easy
If you're uneasy, just get through the night
If you can't be careful, be tough
If you can't be tough, be lucky
If you're unlucky, don't fall in love
If you can't be wise, be clever
If you can't be clever, be cool
If you can't be cool, be honest
If you're dishonest, don't be cruel
I let my conscience try to guide me
I let my conscience cut and run
I want someone who'll stand beside me
Even after all the things I'vе done
If you can't be free, be patiеnt
If you can't be patient, be right
If you can't be right, take it easy
If you're uneasy, just get through the night
