"I'll Be Good" lyrics

Sorry to bother you, honey

Can't tell you sorry, can't say my bad
Ain't no excuse up in the world gon' call you back
Though all my reasons could be valid
It now looks like a habit, though I tried
But you won't hear me out no more

'Cause in a perfect world, I'd never make you cry
And I know that you heard my promise and held it tight
If I could only show you how much that I try
Maybe you'll just let me restart
But girl, if you find it in your heart

Then I'll be good
I'ma try, I'ma do better, better
Then I'll be good
By your side, I'ma do whatever, ever
There shouldn't be a reason why I can't love on you
The way I should (Way I should)
I'll be good (I'll be good), I'll be

Now that I let it pass, I reminisce on my past, it's scaring me
The last thing I wanna have is me tryin' to double back as a memory
So, while you're here with me right now
I don't wanna think about what else could be
'Cause ain't no way that I could own (Ain't no way that I could own)
Knowing that there's something wrong

'Cause in a perfect world, I'd never make you cry
And I know that you heard my promise and held it tight
If I could only show you how much that I try
Maybe you'll just let me restart (Just let me restart)
But girl, if you find it in your heart

Then I'll be good
I'ma try, I'ma do better, better
Then I'll be good
By your side, I'ma do whatever, ever
There shouldn't be a reason why I can't love on you
The way I should (Way I should)
I'll be good (I'll be good), I'll be

I'll buy you every flower in the world if it makes you smile
And I will find every diamond on this earth, don't ask me why
And I would fight every battle if you want
Girl, I know that it's my fault (It's my fault)
But I promise it's your call (It's your call)

'Cause in a perfect world, I'd never make you cry
And I know that you heard my promise and kept it tight
If only I could show you how much that I try
Maybe you'll just let me restart
Girl, if you find it in your heart

Then I'll be good, oh-oh-oh
I'ma try, I'ma do better, better
Then I'll be good
By your side, I'ma do whatever, ever
There shouldn't be a reason why I can't love on you
The way I should (Way I should)
I'll be good (I'll be good), I'll be
