James Ingram
I’ll Be Good to You
[Verse 1: Ray Charles, Chaka Khan]
I wanna know, baby
Just how you feel, girl
Said I wanna know
If what you feel is real, girl
'Cause there's a reason
For the things that I say, what I talk about
But oh, I wanna love you, girl
In a special way -- come here woman
We've been together
For so very long
I'd hate to break up
Break up my happy home

[Pre-Chorus: Ray Charles, Background Singers]
(The way we stand and the way we lie)
The way we lie
(The way we love and the way we cry)
The way we cry
(Of all these things, there comes a time)
Therе's a time
(Makes me feel that it's worth a try)
Makеs me feel, it's worth a try
(I'll be good to you)

[Chorus: Background Singers]
Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
[Verse 2: Ray Charles, Chaka Khan]
Girl, you said, we've been together
So very long, so very long
I would hate to break up
Break up my happy home
Let me take off your shoes
Take a stand now
And let me know how
Oh, always, baby, baby, and all your know-how

[Pre-Chorus: Chaka Khan, Background Singers]
(The way we stand and the way we lie)
The way we lie
(The way we love and the way we cry)
The way we cry
(Of all these things, there lies a time)
Ooh
(Makes me feel that it's worth a try)

[Chorus: Background Singers]
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
[Interlude: Ray Charles]
Girl, I'll be good to you, babe
Y'know I'll be good to you
Take you shopping, you know what I mean baby? Anything you want
I'll be good to you
I'll give it up, with my credit cards
Like Visa, Master Charge, American Express
Turn my pants upside down
Any day of the week
Oh, good to you
Come here, give me love
Talk to me

[Chorus: Background Singers]
Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
Good to you, good to you, good to you
