You can have the world on a string

Be a servant, be her king

Be everything a gentleman's supposed to be

‘Cause if you're everything that she wants, she won't be getting all that she needs

To be good to a woman, you've got to know when to be bad

You can be there night and day

You can love her all the way

But just being there doesn't mean she's gonna stay

‘Cause if you're everything that she wants, she won't be getting all that she needs

To be good to a woman, you've got to know when to be bad

This may not seem like sound advice, but believe me, pal, it's true

A devil's kiss with an angel's lips is all you have to do

‘Cause if you're everything that she wants, she won't be getting all that she needs

To be good to a woman, to be good to a woman

So be good to a woman, and know when you got to be bad
