If You Can't Be Good. Be Good At It Lyrics - Neal Mccoy

Alright, now let this be a lesson to you 

Mama never raised any smart mouth kid 

She told us once and that was it 

She said, son sit down, son that's enough 

Mama really loved us but she sure was tough 

Could never get away with callin' her bluff 

You been runnin' all night, chasin' those skirts 

You ought to be ashamed, late again for work 

Boy, don't you know you're on the wrong track 

And throwin' it away, you never get it back 

Hard lovin' mamas don't cut you no slack

But my old man was a little bit more inclined to understand 

'Cause daddies know, when to hang on and when to let go 

He said, "Bein' addicted to love's a real bad habit 

If you can't be good, son, be good at it" 

Now mama's still on me 'bout wrong and right 

Hopin' one day I might see the light 

My heart's been broke, I make mistakes 

I still try to give 'em as much as I take 

Now old habits are hard to break 

But my old man was a little bit more inclined to understand 

'Cause daddies know, now when to hang on and when to let go 

He said, "Bein' addicted to love's a real bad habit 

If you can't be good, son, be good at it 

If you can't be good, be good at it"

He said, "Now bein' addicted to love's a real bad habit 

If you can't be good, son, be good at it 

If you can't be good, be good at it" 

Well, if you can't be good, be good at it 

Take that to your old man, son 

Don't worry about bein' good, I'll show you how it's done
