This Better Be Good Lyrics

I saw you holding hands
With some guy wearing light blue Dockers pants
And I thought that I might just
Give you a chance to explain
What the hell is in your brain

You know you pretend
You're going to Sea Bright for the long weekend
But something don't seem right
And your best friend Renee keeps on saying she saw you
At the Gap with somebody in a baseball cap

And you know
This better be good
This better be good
Yeah this better be good now baby
'cause you sure don't act like you should
This better be good good

I thought you could be trusted
But I guess you can 'fess up
You're totally busted
'cause I swear you were sharing a hotdog with mustard
After work with that same old polyester jerk

And you know
This better be good
This better be good
Yeah this better be good now baby
'cause you sure dont act like you should
This better be good good

I know you'll deny but don't even try it
Your half-baked alibi is so full of holes
I think you might want to stop in at the donut shop
They might buy it--I sure won't

This better be good

I saw you holding hands 
With some guy wearing light blue Dockers pants 
And I thought that I might just 
Give you a chance to explain 
What the hell is in your brain

You know you pretend 
You're going to Sea Bright for the long weekend 
But something don't seem right 
And your best friend Renee keeps on saying she saw you 
At the Gap with somebody in a baseball cap

And you know 
This better be good 
This better be good 
Yeah this better be good now baby 
'cause you sure don't act like you should 
This better be good good

I thought you could be trusted 
But I guess you can 'fess up 
You're totally busted
'cause I swear you were sharing a hotdog with mustard 
After work with that same old polyester jerk

And you know 
This better be good
This better be good 
Yeah this better be good now baby 
'cause you sure dont act like you should
This better be good good

I know you'll deny but don't even try it 
Your half-baked alibi is so full of holes 
I think you might want to stop in at the donut shop 
They might buy it--I sure won't

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
