I need help finding out the name and artist that sings the song with these lyrics that I found on the internet. On search brought up two sites, one that claimed that Deborah Cox sang it and the other that Mariah Carey does it. I don't think it's either. The song is from the eighites, I think. I used to hear it years ago. Can I get some help? Here are the lyrics. Thanks in advance.


Just Be Good To Me"

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 talk about, reputation
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
Friends are always tellin' me you're a user
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Just be good to me

You may have many 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'll never do that to me, oh no

People always talk about, reputation
I don't care what you do to them
Just be good to me
Friends are always tellin' me you're a user
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Just be good to me

Life is a game of chances
So I'll take my chance with you
And you I won't try to change
We talk about it and I'd
Rather have a piece of you
Than to have all of nothing

So just be good to me in the morning time
Just be good to me, in the afternoon or evening
Just be good to me
I'm not the jealous type I won't let you down
When you need me, I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
We will be together, be together

I'm not the jealous type I won't let you down
When you need me, I'll be around
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
We will be together, be together

I have known the song for years but just wasn't sure about the artist. And I do know of SOS band but just didn't know they did it. Maybe I did know but forgot. It sounds more like a song by a female solo artist. Sorry I embarrassed myself.

Thanks.

I love this song. Best when played at BBQ's, or runnin' from the cops on the highway .

Actually there was a really really good cover version by Beats International feat. Lindy Layton (a female vocalist) which went to #1 in the UK back in 1990 called "Dub Be Good To Me". Man that was one of the best songs of 1990

Jam & Lewis had a pretty good track record of singles in the mid-eighties, from The S.O.S. Band, Patti Austin, The Force MDs, The Human League, Herb Alpert, Alexander O'Neal, Cherrelle, New Edition, etc. If you're unfamiliar with their production work, you should definitely check it out.

It's probably time to start another "favorite Jam & Lewis song" thread.

don't forget Norman 'Fatboy slim' Cooke's involvement in that too. Great tune.

this is the song that got them fired by Prince. While in Atlanta recording thhis track a freak snow storm hit and caused them to miss their next gig. Fortunately, they had a hit on their hands and have been going strong ever since. Now the ? is; will Prince induct then into the hall of fame when they get in as producers in 2008
