Lyrics: Minnie Driver. How To Be Good.

I could write the book of you
And illustrate the pages
You shouldn't read it
I'm the one that you put down,
It was written in a hurry,
Slipped through your fingers.

I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?

I lay my storms down at your feet
Maybe you'll build a shelter,
Maybe do my heart work for me.
Oh, I kick and scream,
But the job is mine,
So I'll stay by the ocean
You got your own hills to climb.

I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?

And I know that I am full of holes
Still they let me, see on through to the other side.
And the southern cross has got you in her sights.

I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me?

Gotta wrap 'em around
Gotta wrap 'em around
Gotta wrap 'em around me...

I do everything I should
Still got to learn,
How to be good.
You got two strong arms I see,
Can't you bring them around
Wrap them around me
