Sarah Slean - Please be good to me

I carried my heart unbuttonedacross the lonely stagewhere all the fools and actorscircle like birds of prey.But careful with the rose, she knowsevery word in every scene.O please be good to me.I let the liar have me,the forger and the cheat.Love is the legal tender,they try to steal from me.But tell me how you lose, what youwant to give away for free?O please be good to me.When love's light is shining elsewherethe cold is hard to shakebut when its shining on youthe winter melts away.I don't want to know how so I just want to feel the heat.O please be good to me.
