Goody Goody

Goody Goody
music by Matty Malneck
lyric by Johnny Mercer (right)

You told me there wasn't a lesson in lovin' that you hadn't learned_
Oh yeah? Oh yeah?
You told me that you could keep playin' with fire without gettin' burned.
Oh yeah? Oh yeah?

So you met someone who set you back on your heels,
GOODY GOODY!

So you met someone and now you know how it feels,
GOODY GOODY!
So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you_
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do?

So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night,
GOODY GOODY!
So you found that love's a barrel of dynamite.
Hooray and hallelujah! You had it comin' to ya.
GOODY GOODY for him, GOODY GOODY for me,
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you.

So you met someone who set you back on your heels, GOODY GOODY!

So you met someone and now you know how it feels, GOODY GOODY!

So you gave him your heart too_just as I gave mine to you

And he stuck it in his collection, section ninety-two.

So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night, GOODY GOODY!

So you found that love's a barrel of dynamite.

Hooray and hallelujah! You had it comin' to ya.

GOODY GOODY for him, GOODY GOODY for me,

And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you.
