WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE SO GOOD
(Jerry Foster / Bill Rice)

Billie Jo Spears - 1978
Dave & Sugar - 1979



Why did you have to be so good
When you didn't mean to stay
Why did you have to be so good
If you were leavin' anyway

You left impressions on my heart and in my mind
Of a love I'd never had
You loved me long enough just to make me blind
To all the hurt and pain I had in the past

Why did you have to be so good
When you didn't mean to stay
Why did you have to be so good
If you were leavin' anyway

You made me feel a way I've never felt before
You even promised me a dream
You were all that I had ever had and even more
You bound my heart to you, then you broke the chain

Why did you have to be so good
When you didn't mean to stay
Why did you have to be so good
If you were leavin' anyway

Why did you have to be so good
When you didn't mean to stay
Why did you have to be so good
If you were leavin' anyway

Why did you have to be so good
When you didn't mean to stay
Why did you have to ..... FADE
