Woorden: Sarah Slean. The Baroness. Please Be Good To Me.

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 in 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 you lose, what you
want to give away for free?

O please be good to me.

When love's light is shining elsewhere
the cold is hard to shake
but when its shining on you
the winter melts away.
I don't want to know how so
I just want to feel the heat.

O please be good to me.
