Jones, Quincy - I'll Be Good To You Lyrics






Want to know, baby
Just how you feel, girl
Said I wanna know
If what you feel is real, girl
Cause there's a reason
For the things that I say, what I talk about
But oh, I want to love you girl
In a special way, come here woman
We've been together
For so very long
I'd hate to break up
Break up my happy home

(The way we stand and the way we lie)
The way we lie
(The way we love and the way we cry)
Girl, we cry
(Of all these things, there comes a time)
There's a time
(Makes me feel that it's worth a try)
Makes me feel, it's worth a try
(I'll be good to you)

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

Girl you said, we've been together
So very long, very long
I would hate to break up
Break up my happy home
Let me take off your shoes
Take a stand, now
And let me know how
Ooh always baby, and all your know-how

(The way we stand and the way we lie)
The way we lie
(The way we love and the way we cry)
The way we cry
(Of all these things, there lies a time)
(Makes me feel that it's worth a try)

Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
[x3]

[Spoken: Ray Charles]
Girl, I'll be good to you, babe
Y'know I'll be good to you, take you shopping
You know what I mean baby? Anything you want
I'll be good to you
I'll give it up, with my credit cards
Like Visa, Master Charge, American Express
Turn my pants upside down
Any day of the week

Oh, you, you, you
Come here, give me love
Talk to me

Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, I'll be good to you
[x3]

    Watching Ray and Quincy dancing together is a joyous visual in my memory. It's stuck with me for years, what a remarkable moment, 2 Black men who wrote, sang, played and produced a great deal of the soundtrack of American life for decades, who kinda grew up together... and became everything they ever dreamed out loud to each other, and more.😁

  58. L.... M....

    Frame 1:52 love that drop pose. I miss the 90 as well.

  59. S.... j....

    Anybody besides myself noticed in the very beginning of the video that there are two little boys one of them dressed as a girl holding hands and one little boy kisses the other on the cheek. It was very very subtle, quick, but far from coincidental. Rewind if you think I'm lying.

    S.... j....

    SUPER jdilly Dillio just noticed it also!!

    S.... j....

    Stop it...look.again at the close up/kiss! You will clearly see the little girl has very short hair braided into single cornrown split down the middle

    S.... j....

    Might be a little girl with short hair. Many black females have androgynous or masculine features, hence the emphasis on serious make up and jewelry.

  60. c.... b....

    My God, what an optimistic, feel-good song AND music video! I remember watching this for the first time when I was in 7th grade. My parents just bought our first colour TV set and those green apples remained stuck in my head ever since - every time I think of Ray Charles, those green apples pop in my head, for some reason :). I miss those days, when you turned on the radio and you were spoiled by artists like Sting, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Lenny Kravitz, Richard Marx, Peter Gabriel, etc. who were churning out hit after hit...and we took this for granted. Now, you tune in to a Top 40 radio station and it's a cringe fest in there.

    c.... b....

    Late Summer 1989!

  61. J.... R....

    A Feel Good Song And Video With Positive Vibes. Love IT.

  62. j.... m....

    God I miss the 90s so many god memories especially this song "I'll be good to you" this is one of my favorites music now is nothing like it was back in the 90s.

  63. d.... R....

    Nice 1990 music video looks like it was produced and directed by the same people who did the videos for "The Whistle Song" by Frankie Knuckles and "Close to you" by Maxi Priest, etc. it even looks like the same set with the large white cyclorama wall and shadowed key lighting.

  64. A.... J....

    I LOVE to dance off this song

  65. A.... R....

    Good old days of 90s' music.

  66. R.... C....

    GOD morning 2 all!  "I'LL BE GOOD 2 U" all today and 4ever! U 2 Quincy Jones!  LOL!  I just LOVE seeing all these classic r&b videos again each day! THANK U YOU TUBE!

  67. G.... C....

    Great great fun and memories 90s with the music, not nowadays music.

  68. c.... ....

    That guitar at 1:30 still sends chills .

    c.... ....

    Steve Lukather (TOTO) ;)

    c.... ....

    I knew that was something morphing into a guitar, but I didn't know it was guitar all the way through. Amazing playing; I gotta say.

    c.... ....

    that's George Johnson from brothers Johnson

  69. S.... ....

    Just as a massive as it ever was! Surprised how little attention this is getting on here :-O

  70. A.... M....

    This sound so good to me good good😻😻

  71. D.... ....

    They just don't videos like that anymore.

  72. O.... ....

    Commenting because no one has! !
    C'mon 80tiers. ?.. this is a fabulous classic.

    O.... ....

    One The Crow ! You really have to be good at your music to like this one !

    O.... ....

    O.... ....

    Brings back great memories! #80sKids
