Would you like to live in Houston
Where the cowboys come to town
Or maybe Pensacola
Where the sun shines all year ?round
Or even New York City
Where the city never sleeps
I'm offering you the option
Before you get in too deep
If you can do anything else
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry ?bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't
Baby, you can stay right here
There's work up in Seattle
If you don't mind the rain
San Diego to Savannah
They'd all be glad you came
But life with me would always be
A roller coaster ride
You won't hurt my feelings
Whatever you decide
If you can do anything else
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry ?bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't
Baby, you can stay right here
This place might look real good right now
But looking good don't last
But if you choose it, anyhow
I'll give you all I have (but)
If you can do anything else
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry ?bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't
Baby, you can stay right here
Where the cowboys come to town
Or maybe Pensacola
Where the sun shines all year ?round
Or even New York City
Where the city never sleeps
I'm offering you the option
Before you get in too deep
If you can do anything else
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry ?bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't
Baby, you can stay right here
There's work up in Seattle
If you don't mind the rain
San Diego to Savannah
They'd all be glad you came
But life with me would always be
A roller coaster ride
You won't hurt my feelings
Whatever you decide
If you can do anything else
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry ?bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't
Baby, you can stay right here
This place might look real good right now
But looking good don't last
But if you choose it, anyhow
I'll give you all I have (but)
If you can do anything else
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry ?bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't
Baby, you can stay right here
