Good For You
Billy Mac Lyrics

I’m waking up and you’re far away
I am starting my day without you by my side and feeling your absence

I’ll be alone again today
Once again, I will spend my day in solitude

I need some friends to help me with this pain
I am longing for companionship to alleviate the emotional anguish I feel

Deep in my heart hope’s still alive
Despite the pain, there is a glimmer of hope lingering within me

I grab that old box of 45’s
I reach for my collection of 45 RPM vinyl records

Hopin’ some of my old buddies got a healing refrain
I am hopeful that some of the songs from my past can provide solace and healing

I’m here with Booker T and the 3 MG’S
In my current state, I find myself listening to Booker T and the 3 MG'S

On a lonely Saturday night
During a Saturday evening filled with loneliness

Not a soul around and I’m prayin’
With no one else present, I am fervently praying

that that Memphis sound can get me right
I hope that the soulful sounds of Memphis can bring me comfort

But I miss you girl
I deeply long for your presence, my love

Oh god, how I miss you girl
My longing for you is profound and heartfelt

So give me a backbeat two and four
I yearn for the rhythmic foundation of a backbeat on the second and fourth beats

Let me hear those Memphis Horns once more
Allow me to be enveloped by the soulful sounds of the Memphis Horns again

And pray that Isaac Hayes can carry me through
I have faith in Isaac Hayes' music to guide me through these difficult times

The Sweet Inspirations -- a soulful song
I seek solace in the soulful melodies of The Sweet Inspirations

Never could, ever would steer me wrong
Their music has always provided me with support and guidance

But wherever you are just know one thing is true
No matter your location, please remember one undeniable truth

Somewhere there’s a song sung just for you
There exists a song, specifically dedicated to you and your heart

I close my eyes and reminisce
I shut my eyes and let my mind wander to past memories

Lost in the softness of your kiss
I am captivated by the tenderness and warmth of your kisses

The tear runnin’ down my cheek can’t be no crime
Though tears fall from my eyes, they should not be considered a wrongdoing

I needed this soulful reverie
This reflective and emotional state is exactly what I needed

The cure of a musical memory
The remedy for my pain lies in the memories attached to certain songs

I think I’m going to play it just one more time
I feel compelled to play those songs once again

I’m here with Steve Cropper and Otis Redding
In this moment, I find solace in the music of Steve Cropper and Otis Redding

on a sad Sunday afternoon (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)
During a melancholic Sunday afternoon, I listen to their songs

and these arms of mine are sure ‘nough hoping
I desperately hope that these arms of mine can find solace and tenderness

to try a little tenderness soon
I yearn for the opportunity to express tenderness and love

‘cause I want you girl
I have a deep desire for your presence, my love

Lord knows how I want you girl
Only the divine truly knows the extent of my longing for you

So give me a backbeat two and four
I crave the rhythm of a backbeat on the second and fourth beats

Let me hear those Memphis Horns once more
Allow me to be embraced by the soulful sounds of the Memphis Horns once again

And my man Willie Mitchell can carry me through
I trust that Willie Mitchell's music can guide me through these challenging times

I need the sweet inspiration of a Sam and Dave song
I seek solace in the uplifting and inspirational melodies of Sam and Dave

Never did, ever did steer me wrong
Their music has always provided me with guidance and support

But wherever you are just know one thing is true
No matter where you are, remember one undeniable truth

Somewhere there’s a song sung just for you
There exists a song, solely dedicated to you and the love we share

I know damn well when I finish
I am fully aware that when this song concludes

I’ll still be alone without you
I will still be in a state of solitude without your presence

But I’m tryin’ to be strong and singing that song’s
However, I am making an effort to stay resilient and find strength through singing this song

The only thing I know how to do
Singing is the one thing I am proficient at and can always rely on

‘cause I love you girl
I am deeply in love with you, my dear

can’t you see how I love you, girl
Can't you perceive the intensity of my love for you, my darling

Oh, how I love you child
Oh, the extent to which I adore you, my beloved

So give me a backbeat two and four
I yearn for the rhythmic foundation of a backbeat on the second and fourth beats

Let me hear those Memphis Horns once more
Allow me to bask in the soulful sounds of the Memphis Horns once again

And maybe some sweet Al Green can carry me through
Perhaps Al Green's sweet music can guide me through these trying times

Now now now
Right at this moment

Some Wicked Pickett, an Eddie Floyd song
I long to hear songs by Wicked Pickett and Eddie Floyd

Some Mavis Staples and I can’t go wrong
The powerful voice of Mavis Staples never fails to uplift me

And wherever you are know one thing is true
No matter your current location, remember one undeniable truth

Somewhere girl somewhere
In some place, my dear, in some place

Somewhere there’s a song sung just for you
There exists a song, specifically dedicated to you and your heart

For you – girl, for you – just, just, just for you
This song is solely for you, my love

For you, for you, for you, baby
It is dedicated to you, repeated for emphasis, my darling
