The Good Guy

Imagine my baby in yesterday’s news Been slipping through the banks where the cash was loose His face looked different, it wasn’t his name But those blue eyes, they were exactly the same I waited till he got home, drink in my hand He stumbled in smoking, dropped his coat on the stand And I asked him if he’d been lying all along He grabbed my wrist and said I’d got it all wrong He said, ‘Baby I’m the good guy, you know that it’s true The only kind of jam I’m in is loving you’ The next day when I turned on the evening report That big-time bandit, they said he’d been caught My baby in handcuffs, there on the screen The most beautiful thing I’d ever seen I thought about the night before, the scene I’d made When he stumbled in smoking, I grabbed his face And I asked him if he’d been lying all along He grabbed my wrist and said I’d got it all wrong He said, ‘Baby I’m the good guy, you know that it’s true The only kind of jam I’m in is loving you’ Take it away, Ned They locked him away, but three weeks – he was gone I know he’s hiding somewhere and I've never been wrong When it comes to my baby, I’ll be by his side Though I’ll never forget all he tried to hide Wish I knew before the night it all blew up I stayed with my bandit, now you know that’s love Cause I knew that he was lying all along But he tried to fool me, said I’d got it all wrong He said, ‘Baby I’m the good guy, you know that it’s true I said, ‘The only kind of jam I’m in Is loving someone like you' Someone like you Someone like you Someone like you
