As Good as You’ve Been to This World Lyrics by Janis Joplin

I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama!

1969

Live your loving life
And live it all the best you can
And if you pay no attention darling
Don’t you might ever hear from your man
I just to stand a servant
And try to keep it all all to yourself
Don't you know it makes the World go round?
You got to go honey share everywhere else
Come on come on come on
As good as you've been to this World
So good I wanna be right back to you
As good as you've been now
As good as you've been to this whole wide World
So good I wanna be be be be being
As good as you've been now say now
As good as you've been to this whole wide World
As good as you've been bad
So good I wanna be be be being you
You know it's no use in being faithful
I see you look at the sky
I know what's in it make you happy there
But it only make you cry cry
I think you got good intentions too
But you manage to show through
Whatever you give to the World outside
I wanna give it right back to you cause I am
Come on come on come on
So you meet somebody on the street
You know you treat a mighty fine
Or you meet somebody on the street
And you give him a real hard time it's gonna come on home babe
I said it's gonna come right back home to you
They said it's gonna visit tonight
Yes it is ooohooohooohooh yes it is
Good as you've been to this whole wide World
Good as you’ve been bad
So good wanna be be be be be being you
Ooohoohoohoooh
Good as you've been to this whole wide World
Good as you’ve been bad
So good I wanna be be be be being you
Ooohooohooohooohoohoooh

When your love sist your brother
When your love your aunt you uncle anybody now everybody now
