Sometimes the Good Guys Finish First lyrics
by Pat Benatar
[Intro]
S-U-C-C-E-S-S
That's the way we spell success
Will we get it? The answer's yes
S-U-C-C-E-S-S
[Verse 1]
Small town boy, so clean he squeaks
Dressed and polished for the big time dreams
Got a letter from his ma and a boyish grin
Closed his eyes one minute and it nearly did him in, yeah
Huh
[Verse 2]
You know, there's nothin' like having that wall against your back
To get your ass in gear, and your mind on track
When wheels start turnin', things start falling into place
You'll be surprised what you can do with some intelligence and taste, yeah
Huh
[Chorus]
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes your best is all it takes
You know that sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys finish first
[Verse 3]
Backdoor logic, turn your head around
Use the front door and avoid the crowds
They're trying to tell you that it can't be done
Beatin' big boys at their own game is half the fun, hey, hey
[Chorus]
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes your best is all it takes
You know that sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys (Woah, hey)
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes your best is all it takes
You know that sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys finish first
[Post-Chorus]
The good guys, the good guys
The good guys finish first
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes your best is all it takes
You know that sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys (Woah, hey)
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Walkin' a straight line in reverse
You know that sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys
Sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes your best is all it takes (Woah, hey)
You know that sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys finish first
[Outro]
Hey!
