“Good for You”
By Selena Gomez
I'm in my 14 carats
I'm 14 carat
Doing it up like Midas
Now you say I got a touch
So good, so good
Make you never wanna leave
So don't, so don't
Gonna wear that dress you like
Skintight
Do my hair up real
Real nice
And syncopate my skin
To your heart beating
Chorus
Cause I just wanna look good for you
Good for you
I just wanna look good for you
Good for you
Let me show you how proud
I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
And still look good for you
Good for you
I'm on my marquise diamonds
I'm a marquise diamond
Could even make that Tiffany jealous
You say I give it to you hard
So bad, so bad
Make you never wanna leave
I won't, I won't
(Chorus)
Trust me, I can take you there
Trust me, I can take you there
Trust me, I, trust me, I, trust me, I
(Chorus)
