Good Intentions Lyrics by Labelle

Phoenix

1975

You make me wait so long
And all I wanna do is get next to you
It's just like singing a song
Holding a note, holding a note that's too high for you
I'd like to mention
That your good intentions
Just ain't good enough

You say that I could be wrong
But everytime you come up empty
I know that I could be wrong
Going down, getting it up sure ain't easy
With no pretensions
I'd like to mention
That your good intentions just ain't good enough

Good intentions sure ain't enough
If you can't keep them when the going gets rough
Good intentions won't get you by
They'll just become another thing undone in your life

Good intentions sure ain't enough
If you can't keep them when the going gets rough
Good intentions won't get you by
They'll just become another thing undone in your life

In your life

Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No

Good intentions ain't good enough
If you can't keep them when the going gets rough
All I wanna do is get next to you
I know that I could be wrong
But everytime you just come up empty

Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never, never good enough
No
Never, never, never...
