I'll Be Good to You, Baby (A Message to the Silent Victim) Songtext

von Andraé Crouch

Two people together
And felt a little bit a pleasure
A seed was sewn and before it was grown

Somebody came and cut it down

I'll be good to you, baby
I'll treat you right
And I'll give you that name that you never had
Cause somebody came and cut you down

You are becoming an endangered species
They think more of the fishes in the sea
And you already out number the great Holocost
And nobody's even weeping you loss
Cause you never saw the light of day (you never saw the light of day)
And you never heard a robin sing (you never heard a robin sing)
And you never took a ride on a merry-go-round
Cause somebody came and cut you down

But I'll be good to you, baby
I'll treat you right
And I'll give you that love that you never had
Cause somebody came and cut you down

Good to you
Good to you
Good to you
I'll be good to you
Good to you
Good to you
I'll be good to you
Good to you
Good to you
I'll be good to you
Good to you

I never gave them the right to throw your body into the sea
(I didn't do it, no)
I never gave them the right to tie your little hands and little feet
(I didn't do it, no)

I'll be good to yo, baby
I'll treat you right
And I'll give you that love that you never had
Cause somebody came and cut you down

I'll be good to you, baby, sweet baby
I'll be treat you right, baby, sweet baby
I'll be good to you, baby, sweet baby
I'll be treat you right, baby, sweet baby
I'll be good to you,
I'll be treat you right, (I'll treat you right)
