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 loves light is shining elsewhere The cold is hard to shake But when its shining on you The winter melts away I dont want to know how so I just want to feel the heat O Please be good to me
