Lyrics

Make It Good

[Intro]

Look at me

Funny face

That's not you

A wrinkled nose

A tear

You're crying

[Verse]

Rest your head

Cry on me

Don't be afraid

I'll stay with you

I know you'll make it

[Bridge]

And you'll make it good

And you'll make it good

And you'll make it good

[Outro]

All of my life

I haven't known much

All I know

Is what I feel

And what I feel

And what I feel

Love

I'm in love

Love

Love
