As Good As You've Been To This World
Written by - Nick Gravenites
From - I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama
Live your loving life
Live it all the best you can 
And if you pay no attention darling 
To what you might ever hear from your man 
I think you're just like a servant 
And try to keep it all to yourself 
Don't you know it makes the world go round
You gotta go and honey share everywhere else 
Come on, come on, come on! 

As good as you've been to this world 
So good I wanna be right back to you 
As good as you've been now
As good as you've been to this whole wide world
So good I wanna be 
As good as you've been now, say
As good as you've been to this whole wide world
As good as you've been, babe
So good I wanna be here 

Ain't no use in being faithful
I see you look at the sky 
I know what's in it make you happy there
But it only make you cry 
I think you got good intentions too
They don't manage to show through 
Whatever you give to the world outside
I wanna give it right back to you, yes I am! 
Come on, come on, come on! 

So you meet somebody on the street 
You know you treat him mighty fine 
Or you meet somebody on the street 
And you give him a real hard time 
It's gonna come on home baby
I said it's gonna come right back home to you 
I said it's gonna visit you now
Yes it is, oh yes it is 

As good as you've been to this whole wide world
As good as you've been, babe
So good I wanna be here 
Oh, good as you've been to this whole wide world
As good as you've been, babe
So good I wanna be here 
Ah, the way you love your mother
The way you love your sister, your brother
The way you love your aunt, your uncle
Anybody now, everybody now 

Good as you've been babe, hurrah! 
Good as you've been babe, hey! 
Good as you've been babe, hey! 
Good as you've been babe 
'Cause I'm just gonna show you now 
And I'm just gonna make you want it now 
'Cause I 'm just gonna give you a thrill 
Say, good as you been babe
hurrah, good as you been babe 
Come on, good as you been babe
I say, good as you been babe
Oh daddy, good as you been babe
My man, good as you been babe
All right, yeah hey
