Good times for a change.
See, the life I've had could make a good man bad.
So please, please, please let me get what I want;
Lord knows it would be the first time.

Haven't had a dream in a long time.
See, the life I've had could make a good man bad.
So for once in my life let me get what I want;
Lord knows it would be the last time.
Lord knows it would be the first time.

    General Comment:ok first of all. the person who posted the lyrics doesnt hear the song right, these are the CORRECT lyrics:

    Good times for a change
    See the luck I've had
    Would make a good man bad

    So please please please
    Let me get what I want
    Lord knows it would be the first time

    Haven't a dream in a long time
    See the life I've had can make a good man...bad

    So for once in my life
    Let me get what I want
    Lord knows it would be the last time
    Lord knows it would be the first time

    General Comment:Fuck whoever said the Smiths version sucked. Chino obviously loved them, so step up and gain some knowledge, son.
