i feel uneasy when i act good
feel upon shoulder a weight
what if next time i ain't that good
and your expectations are not met.
there's a liability in acting good
for it easily makes you a brand
if next time you ain't that good
you invite a strong reprimand.
tempts me easy to act ever good
be the pleasantest man in the town
but lurks the fear if ain't always good
in all eyes i would soon go down.
it extracts a price trying to act good
as your image in no time shines bright
but for each instance you ain't that good
you walk the sharp edge of spite.
