"Katy (You Don't Have To Be Good Yet)" lyrics - HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER

I was stoned when it hit me:
You don't love me like you used to
But your love for me has turned into a fantasy
If it was only temporary, can't say that I blame ya
I'm a little bit lost and a whole lot of things you can't hang with

You can run from the roses
You can tumble on the Bowery
If you turn from the world
There are colors you'll never see
Is it the same for you?
Is it busted beyond repair?
And if we don't save it, does it vanish into thin air?

[Chorus:]
Katy
You don't have to feel bad
Come around, lay it all down
You don't have to be good yet
Katy
It's supposed to make you feel glad
Don't despair, things ain't fair
I guess, I guess we didn't know yet

Whatever is given, honey, there's a taker
Till the last final throw and you lay your body down
Oh, to be a great singer
Give your song away freely
You've gotta mean what you say
Or the crowd won't believe it

[Chorus:]
Katy
You don't have to feel bad
Come around, lay it all down
You don't have to be good yet
Katy
It's supposed to make you feel glad
Don't despair, things ain't fair
I guess, I guess we didn't know yet
