Scott Hayden
Scott Hayden (March 31, 1882 — September 16, 1915) was an African-American composer of ragtime music.
Born in Sedalia, Missouri, he was the son of Marion and Julia Hayden. Hayden is remembered today for the four rags he composed in collaboration with Scott Joplin, "Sunflower Slow Drag," "Something Doing," "Felicity Rag," "Kismet Rag" and also for another composition he wrote himself, "Pear Blossoms". There was a family connection of sorts between the two men, since Joplin's first wife, Belle Hayden, had been Scott Hayden's sister-in-law. Hayden married Nora Wright and lived with the Joplins in St. Louis.
Nora died giving birth to a daughter in 1901. Hayden moved to Chicago, got a job as an elevator operator in the Cook County Hospital, and married Jeanette Wilkins. A slender, handsome man of delicate health, he died in Chicago of pulmonary tuberculosis, leaving "Pear Blossoms" unfinished.

So good
by: Tina[Verse 1:]
I got the fever
And nothing can cool me down either
Don't be a hero
Cause trust me I can be a little trouble
Turnin' me on
Come on tell me what's it gonna be now
I know they better not
Come knockin' cause you know
We're gonna be a while
Meet me at the exit babe
Tonight we'll make our own party
You're messin' with a certified pro
So don't act like you don't know
[Pre-Chorus:]
Light weight
Won't work
Might break
Might hurt a little bit
Don't run
Just take it
Don't break it
[Chorus:]
Make you feel so
Good, good, good, good, good
Make you feel so
Good, good, good, good, good
Cause you're touchin' me like you want it
You need to get up on it
Make me feel so
Good, good, good, good, good
When I'm bad
[Verse 2:]
Come on and run my body like a relay
Hope you can keep up
The way I'm throwin' it should be illegal
I know you see why
They keep on lookin' at us while we rock
Don't make me wait
Cause I'm burnin' up so baby don't you be late
Meet me at the exit babe
Tonight we'll make our own party
You're messin' with a certified pro
So don't act like you don't know
[Pre-Chorus:]
Light weight
Won't work
Might break
Might hurt a little bit
Don't run
Just take it
Don't break it
[Chorus:]
Make you feel so
Good, good, good, good, good
Make you feel so
Good, good, good, good, good
Cause you're touchin' me like you want it
You need to get up on it
Make me feel so
Good, good, good, good, good
