"A Really Good Time" lyrics

"A Really Good Time"

You're heard enough
Of the blues and stuff
You're pretty swell now
'Cause you're pretty tough
But I don't have to tell you
How hard it can be to get by
You never bothered
About anyone else
You're well educated
With no common sense
But love. That's one thing
You really need to get by

All your troubles
Come from yourself
Nobody hurts you
They don't care
Just as long as you show them
A really good, really good time
All the things
You used to do
A trip to the movies
A drink or two
They don't satisfy you
They don't tell you anything new

You know I don't talk much
Except to myself
'Cause I've not much to say
And there's nobody else
Who's ready and willing
And able to know me, I guess
Listen to me
I'm not finished yet
There's something to tell you
That I can't forget
Just have a really good, really good, really, really good, really good time

There's a girl
I used to know
Her face is her fortune
She's got a heart of gold
She never goes out much
But, boy, when she does
Then you'll know
She's got no money
Well, maybe a dime
But she knows what she's worth
And that's reason why
She's gonna make it
She's got what it takes
You'll appreciate that
She's probably late
But I know
And you know
We all know
She'll have a really good time
