Lyrics
You told me there wasn’t a lesson in lovin’
That you hadn’t learned
Oh yeah? Oh yeah?
You told me that you could keep playin’
with fire without gettin’ burned
Oh yeah? Oh yeah?
Chorus:
So you met someone who set you back on your heels
Goody Goody
So you met someone and now you know how it feels
Goody Goody
So you gave him your heart too
Just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces
Now how do you do
So you lie awake just singin’ the blues all night
Goody Goody
So you think that love’s a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it comin’ to ya
Goody Goody for him, Goody Goody for me
And I hope you’re satisfied, you rascal you
Chorus:
So you met someone who set you back on your heels
Goody Goody
So you met somebody and now you know how it feels
Goody Goody
So you gave him your heart too
Just as I gave mine to you
And he stuck it in his collection
Section ninety-two
So you lie awake just singin’ the blues all night
So you think that love’s a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it comin’ to ya
Goody Goody for him, Goody Goody for me
And I hope you’re satisfied, you rascal you
