Kershaw Lyrics

My totally favorite eighties song when I was in High School. Nick Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good. Let's see if I get these right!!



I got it bad

You don't know how bad I got it

You got it easy

You don't know when you've got it good

It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together

I am sick of fighting even when I know I should

The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fiber

My broken spirit is frozen to the core

I don't wanna be here no more


Chorus 1:

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes

Even if it was for just one day

Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side

The grass is always greener over there

Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

You must be joking, you don't know a thing about it

You got no problem,

I'd stay right there if I were you

I got it harder

You couldn't dream how hard I gotta it

Stay out of my shoes if you know what's good for you

The heat is stifling

Burning me up from me inside

The sweat is coming from each and every pour

Chorus 2:

I don't wanna be here no more

I don't wanna be here no more

I don't wanna be here no more


Chorus 1:

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes

Even if it was for just one day

Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side

The grass is always greener over there

Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care


I gotta bad
You don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy you don't know when you got it good
I'm sick of fighting even when I know I should
