Mayfield, Curtis - You're So Good To Me Lyrics






Embracing me this way
Kiss my lips a taste
But oh sweet ecstasy!
Give it all up to me (give it all up, give it all up, give it all up)
Carry on our day this way
You're so good to me
Don't try to understand, to much lack of this
I wanna be the man
I know there is some risk
Oh, sock it to me, sock it to me
Ooh, you're so good to me

Don't wanna see selfishly, us broken-hearted
Should always be you for me and you for me
We too, loving through, hey baby
(Sexy dancing minx), sexy dancing minx
(Sexy dancing minx)

You're just what it takes
(You're just what it takes)
And I hope it's not too late
(And I hope it's not too late)
Want you tenderly
You're so good to me

Say girl you're my love
Friends are all we have
The way we have our love
When we want to enjoy
Lonely, lonely now
You're so good to me

I can never get over you
(I can never, can never, can never)
No matter how I try
Hung up for your love
(Hung up for your love)
(Hung up for your love)
Baby that's my life
(Hung up for your love)
No on could satisfy
You're so good to me

I never craze at pace
(Never get over, get over you)
Wanted you this way
(Never get over, get over you)
Love begin to race
Whatever come what may
Love me tenderly
You're so good to me

(Never get over, get over you)
I can never get over, get over you
No matter what I try to do
Hung up on your love its true
I can never get over, get over you
You're so good to me
Hey baby, hey baby

Oh, embracing me this way
Kiss my lips a taste
But oh sweet ecstasy!
Give it all up to me
(give it all up give it all up, give it all up)
Get down, get down all day
Cos you're so good to me

But never get over, get over you
No matter how I try
Hung up on love, on love its true
Baby that's no lie
No one could satisfy
You're so good to me
You see, I could never get over you, get over you, get over you
Cos you're so good to me

  1. T.... ....

    Even though Mary J. Sampled this song, I still like her version better, Mary killed it and she was more hyped.

  2. C.... M....

    This is by DISCO MOORE (THE BEST)IT IS WHAT IT IS

  3. C.... T....

    I suspect Curtis and Barry are having a mighty chinwag in heaven! I mean this is what soul funk is all about, beautiful, groovy, funky... What do you want!

  4. S.... 1....

    I cherish this marvelous song by Curtis Mayfield so much (although i was born in 1980) and i adore Mary j blige song "be happy" as well. However i hope none of these new school clowns sample this song and tarnish it

  61. E.... T....

    Only new of a few songs by Mr Curtis Mayfield - the guy was juss way ahead of his time - come to think of it, all these years I never new Mary J. Blige on "Happy" to great extent and Miss Aretha Franklin on "Wonderful" to a lesser extent had all sampled parts of this track.
    May his dear soul RIP and thank you for the music.............. A Touch of Greatness, Pure Mastery

    E.... T....

    I HEAR YOU MY BROTHER FOR ME HE IS THE DON

    E.... T....

    Emmanuel T. Mandikiana two queens of R&B both sampled a track and made it their own at the same time paying homage to the Original. Aretha and Mary j blige. Curtis you are the truth.

  62. S.... ....

    A very intellectual songwriter the man wasn't appreciated enough for his contribution . Early and mid-70's had plenty of rock and rise of Disco that overshadowed Curtis and his approach to music , it was there but had plenty of company so it was dismissed for more commercial projects .

  63. p.... y....

    Love it when I find out who did the original the producers of today stole back from when without compemsation

  64. R.... W....

    This is why young kids should learn history of everything, music, wars, just read, don't think you are the first, unless you find the cure of cancer.

    R.... W....

    Roger Winters Right On

    R.... W....

    You are absolutely right. I remember once, when my cousin was a young girl, we watched a commercial on TV featuring the Isley Brother's song "It"s Your Thing". She immediately recognized the melody and stated that "they copied (the song) off of Salt N Pepa's "Shake Your Thing". I immediately corrected her as to the true origin of that melody. She's an Evangelist now! Praise God! Check it Out! Ciao!!!

  65. W.... ....

    All these years Mary J song was a sample...............Wow slap my face lol. That's my favorite Mary Joint.

    W.... ....

    @Russell Jennings why would you lose respect for Mary J, artistes are always sampling other artistes!

    W.... ....

    @Ptah Eco Properties Typical of the laziness of today's music listener. ARTISTS CREATE COMPOSITIONS AND MELODIES. People that STEAL/sample are LAZY. HAVE NO TALENT! And when you STEAL/sample the music and songs from another era and try to say it is yours. THAT'S JUST WRONG!!! And when you STEAL/sample from us that is YOUR GENERATION SAYING that you hear us but do not want to LISTEN TO US.

    W.... ....

    A lot of Mary's songs are sampled

    W.... ....

    @My Hazel Eyezz all of them are. The question is, who will produce the music that will be sampled in the future, these kids today can't play a damn instrument anymore?

    W.... ....

    @robert russell so just about every rapper has no talent by your retarded logic.

  66. D.... M....

    Wow!! I'm ashamed to say i never knew Mary sampled this. I thought i knew my music... so glad i found the original though.

    D.... M....

    @Russell Jennings ummm actually she did. It's on the album

    D.... M....

    How do you know that she didn’t give him credit after all she had to get permission to Sampled it. She and Jay Z sampled Take Me as I Am and Dead Presidents from Lonnie Liston Smith’s Garden of Peace.

    D.... M....

    @King Tut how about when you actually BUY the album, take the album cover off the CD and READ every song on there. She credit Barry White's It's Ecstacy When You Lay Down Next to Me to use You Bring Me Joy, and Ray Ayers's Sunshine for My Life. So take the time to read it.

    D.... M....

    same here....this is beautiful too

    D.... M....

    i knew she had sampled the song but didn't know who's song it was

  67. N.... ....

    Yessssuuuuuuuuuuuh!
    Groovin' and ROCKIN'!

  76. H.... B....

    a true genius, never given the credit he deserves. Mozart of the twentieth century

    H.... B....

    bullshit and even if you had proof mozart and beethoven are as african as you are so yore point being ..ow remember we all came from africa some left sooner than other ...GAME OVER...Some americans have nothing absolutely nothing but there blackness to make them feel like achievers and for the moron i was a white 12 year old when i bought one nation under a groove by funkadelic and my first curtis album iport when i was 12 1/2 in the 70's

    H.... B....

    Well Herbert, you will be happy to know that Brother Curtis Mayfield received MANY accolades during his lifetime for his significant contributions to music including 4 prestigious Grammy lifetime achievement awards, plus he was inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Music Hall of Fame. Mary penned "Be Happy" (which samples this song) in 1994, and Mayfield died in 1999. So, he was alive to see the rebirth of the soulful Mayfield sound.

    H.... B....

    bro mozart and beethoven composed music like anyone today. In fact they are a lot like modern producers because they write down their music one note at a time and often experimented randomly and composed just like how producers use modern beat or music making daws

    H.... B....

    @Phil Perry You idiot, without African drum beats or blues we wouldn't have Rock and Roll, Jazz, Hip Hop, Metal etc. You're just saying a lot of self hate bullshit, us people of culture and color made America and we've left our makr in nearly every part of the planet. Every place a caucasian has been to has a mark of death, pillaging and rape. I'll give your team some credit but for the most part we like our food seasoned and well prepped, you'll just take whatever you're given like a damn fool.

    H.... B....

    🔥.He really was a Genius..You said it perfectly!
