“Just Be Good To Me” was originally recorded by The S.O.S. Band in 1983. Mariah covered the song during her two first tours: the Music Box Tour (1993) and the Daydream Tour (1996). The live recording of one of the Daydream Tour stops in Tokyo was included on Mariah's compilation The Rarities, released in 2020.
Friends tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine
That's not the way I see it
'Cause I feel you're already mine
Whenever you're with me
People always talking 'bout reputation
I don't care about the other girls
Just be good to me
Friends are always telling me you're a user
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
You may have any others
But I know when you're with me
You are all mine
Friends seem to always listen
To the bad things that you do
You never do them to me
People always talking 'bout reputation
I don't care about the other girls
Just be good to me
Friends are always telling me you're a user
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Just be good to me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Just be good to me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Just be good to me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Just be good to me
Just be good to me in the morning
Just be good to me in the afternoon or evening
Be good to me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Just be good to me
I'm not the jealous type
I won't tie you down in the evening
I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
And we'll be together, be together
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Be nice to me, be sweet to me
Just be good to me
Written by James Harris III and Terry Lewis.
