They tell me I was born just lookin' for a fight
It didn't take me long to learn the meaning of my life
The first thing that I know some doctor's givin' me a smack
I raised my little fist ya know I hit him right back

since then

IT'S HARD TO BE GOOD|
IT'S HARD TO BE GOOD
SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON'T DO WHAT YOU SHOULD
IT'S HARD TO BE GOOD

Then when I was six they started sending me to school
I didn't mind the gig but there were way too many rules
Made it into high school, teacher tried to help me pass
She's teaching me geometry, I'm studying her ass

IT'S HARD TO BE GOOD
IT'S HARD TO BE GOOD
SOMETIMES YOU JUST DON'T DO WHAT YOU SHOULD
IT'S HARD TO BE GOOD

I tried to be a good boy and make my mama proud
I learned to play the guitar but they said I played too loud
I tried to fight temptation but things was movin' faster
And everybody told me I was headed for disaster

One day I met a lady, as pretty as a queen
I listened to her talkin' so she gave me everything
Now I come home early and I'm doing like I should
When you got that kind of lovin' it ain't hard to be good

IT AIN'T HARD TO BE GOOD

IT AIN'T HARD TO BE GOOD

YOU KNOW I'M DOING EVERYTHING LIKE I SHOULD
IT AIN'T SO HARD TO BE GOOD
