Good Love (Shouldn't Feel So Bad)
Kris Kristofferson · A Moment Of Forever [1995]
Damn the way you always bring me down
Can't you say a single thing that's true
You can take a perfect day and turn it right around
I'm afraid there ain't no way to please you
It's okay cause it don't matter now go your way and I'll go my way too
Find some new somebodies who you'd rather be around
Maybe they can see their way to please you.
Darling, good love shouldn't feel so bad
This fightin' might feel righteous but it's wrong
We just make each other mad and lonesome
So tell me why the hell we tried so long.
--- Instrumental ---
Yeah, one more line and I'll be down the road
Do me one more dirty girl I'm gone
Ain't it you who used to say life's too short to live this way
Baby I believe that life's too long.
Darling, good love shouldn't feel so bad
This fightin' might feel righteous but it's wrong
We just make each other mad and lonesome
So tell me why the hell we tried so long.
So tell me why the hell we tried so long...
