Entry 031 - He's Good To Me (song)

This wee ditty is a lovely jazzy number. There are several variations of it, sang by all manner of ponies from Belle to Serenade, even the legendary Mac has made a version of it. Some sing of a stallion, some sing of a mare, some sing of an unambiguous lover, but either way, I loved the song.

It was good for me to hear it.

He’s Good To Me
For Silver, from Velocity

He’s my friend,
And he's good to me.
He makes bad jokes,
And bad decisions.
And the funny thing about him,
Is he likes the songs that I sing,
But I don't much like when he tries to sing ’em.
Yet I’ll let him sing ’em anyway,
Because his smile’s brighter than the month of May,
And he’s always smiling when he sings ‘em.

He’s my stallion,
And he’s fine.
If I could I'd give him
Every single second of my time.
He ain't perfect,
But he’s mine.

He’s my guy,
And he’d never lie.
He tells the truth,
Even if it hurts.
And the reason for this little song,
Is to tell him that sometimes he’s wrong,
And he’s not always the villain he thinks he is.
He might not listen to this bit,
Because sometimes he can be a twit,
But I've yet to see him commit a proper crime.

He’s my stallion,
And he’s fine.
If I could I'd give him
Every single second of my time.
He ain't perfect,
But he’s mine.

He's my protector,
Like the best big brother.
He's my sword and shield,
He has never failed me.
And the crazy thing about his eyes,
Is the guard dog in him that they disguise,
With puppy looks and crow’s feet in the corners.
I know he’ll always have my back,
And always brave a harsh attack,
He’d never let the world get in the way.

He’s my stallion,
And he’s fine.
If I could I'd give him
Every single second of my time.
He ain't perfect,
But he’s mine.

He's my stallion,
And I love him.
He was born to care,
And grow facial hair.
He's one of the best friends I’ve ever had,
He’s never ever made me mad,
Even though his mind lives in the gutter.
Of all the ponies in this world,
And every mess that I've been hurled,
I’m happy to say that this one is mine.

He’s my stallion,
And he’s fine.
If I could I'd give him
Every single second of my time.
He ain't perfect,
But he’s mine.

He ain't perfect,
But he’s mine.

He’s still brilliant,
Even if sometimes he is an infant,
He ain't perfect,
But he’s mine.
