Good Intentions Songtext
von Emily Hackett

I plan on stoppin′ all the talkin' and knockin′ on the doors
Of boys who I know are bad for me
Said I'd quit shoppin', droppin′, bank on all the clothes
And make ′em wanna buy me a drink

Said I'd quit leavin′ my car parked behind the bar
But I got towed the second time this week
I watched the ball drop on New Year's Eve
Don′t drop the ball when it comes to me

Gonna get skinny this year
And I'll swear that I′ll stop cursin'
Gonna stop drinkin' this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurrin′

Between what I say, what I do
When I′m all talk, no follow through
Well, you can't get rich makin′ penny wishes
Can't get to Heaven on good intentions

No-oh, no, no
Good intentions


Nobody′s perfect, no, but I plan on workin'
On a version half as good as the girl next door
Well, have you heard? I′m gonna save the world
I'll get started when I'm not so poor

Well, I been tellin′ myself that it′s the thought that counts
So let me tell you what I'm thinkin′ about

Gonna get skinny this year
And I'll swear that I′ll stop cursin'
Gonna stop drinkin′ this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurrin'

Between what I say and what I do
When I'm all talk, no follow through
Well, you can′t get rich makin′ penny wishes
Can't get to Heaven on good intentions

No, you can′t, no, you can't get to Heaven
On good, good intentions
Hmm

All the bad, bad, bad decisions
Wanna get, get ′em out of my system
Fix, fix, fix my condition
Ditch the excuses I've been given (whoa)


All the bad, bad (whoa), bad decisions
Wanna get, get ′em out (whoa) of my system
Fix, fix, fix (whoa) my condition
Instead of just sittin' here (whoa) wishin'

Gonna get skinny this year
And I′ll swear that I′ll stop cursin'
Gonna stop drinkin′ this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurrin'

Between what I say, what I do
When I′m all talk, no follow through
Well, you can't get rich makin′ penny wishes
Nah, can't get to Heaven on good intentions

No, no
Good, good intentions, yeah

Can't get to Heaven
Can′t get to Heaven, oh
Can′t get to Heaven, can't get to Heaven
Can′t get to Heaven on good intentions

Can't (no) get to Heaven (oh, no, no, no, no)
Can′t get to Heaven
Can't get to Heaven
Can′t get to Heaven, come on
