Just Be Good to Green Lyrics

[Intro: Lily Allen (Professor Green)]
Friends tell me I am crazy
That I’m wasting time with you
You’ll never be mine
(Just be good to me)
Just be good to me

[Verse 1: Professor Green (Lily Allen)]
Huh, just be good to Green
All I need is a woman to be good to me
I'm an easy man, I’m easily pleased
And you provide me with everything that I need
Look, you know I make ends, I grind
So hold on to yours, we’re spending mine
Though you try, I never let you buy
But if I was broke, would you still be spending time? (Yes)
And I believe you would
Don’t think P’s too fucked to treat you good
I’ll walk street with you (Yes)
Talk deep with you (Yes)
Even sleep and spend all week with you
And I’m off
You wish I’d put an end to the torment
Stop, but one thing it’s not ever is boring
What would you rather me be that?
I ain’t ever gonna change; are you ever gonna to realize?
[Hook: Lily Allen] (Professor Green)
People always talk about
(Look, people are always going to talk, babes)
Reputation
(I ain't even gonna lie, shit
But it ain't like you don't know what mine is)
I don’t care what you do to them (Nah?)
Just be good to me
(I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try)

[Verse 2: Professor Green (Lily Allen)]
Look, babes, you know who I am
But as crooked as I am, I’ll be as good as I can
I can try and try, though it's evident
My angel face is disguise for the devil inside
You’re good to me; I ain’t good to girls, me
I’m a bad boy, something every good girl needs
Hey, honesty could avoid all your tantrums
But I’m a naughty boy and I always have been
What? And that ain’t changing anytime soon
I can’t have you with me whenever I move
Whatever I do, I come back to you
See, the good attracts me and the crook attracts you (Whatever)
What? We all got our ways, remember us talking
Of course it was game
But it’s all gonna change. Now she got me cutting off links
Like I’m trying to shorten my chain
[Hook: Lily Allen (Professor Green)]
People always talk about
(Look, people are always going to talk, babes)
Reputation
(I ain’t even going to lie, shit
But it ain’t like you don't know what mine is)
I don’t care what you do to them (Nah?)
Just be good to me
(I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try)

Friends are always telling me
You’re a user
(Not me, not ever; ain’t no other man gonna treat you better)
I don’t care what you do to them (Nah?)
Just be good to me
(I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try)

[Coda: Lily Allen (Professor Green)]
I’ll be good to you, you’ll be good to me
We can be together, be together (just be good to me)
I’ll be good to you, you’ll be good to me
We can be together, be together (just be good to me)

I don’t care what you do to them
Just be good to me
Just be good to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The second single off Professor Green’s debut album sees the winner of the first JumpOff MySpace rap contest team up with MySpace star Lily Allen, for whose 2009 “It’s Not Me, It’s You” world tour Green opened in Australia.

Released 25 June 2010 in Australia, and 11 July 2010 in the UK, “Just Be Good To Green” was composed and produced by Semothy Jones, and the first version of the track was originally put down in 2007, with Beats labelmate Neon Hitch on the chorus. When Beats folded in 2008 Green bought out the track and rerecorded it in 2009 with Allen.

“Just Be Good To Green” is a reworking of Norman Cook’s Beats International 1990 chart-topper “Dub Be Good To Me,” and like that track, samples The S.O.S. Band’s 1983 original “Just Be Good To Me.”
