Goedereede [ˌɣudəˈreːdə] is a little town and former municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. The former municipality had a population of about 11,000 in 2010. It consisted of the west part of the island of Goeree-Overflakkee. Goedereede merged with Dirksland, Middelharnis, and Oostflakkee into the new municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee on January 1, 2013. The town have a population of about 2,000 in 2012.
Goedereede received city rights in 1312 from Sir Gereart van Voorne. The future Pope Adrian VI (1459–1523) was at one time pastor of the parish church of Goedereede. During a great fire in Goedereede in 1482 the old "Katharina Church" and its tower were destroyed. A new church was erected in 1512 beside the Toren van Goedereede (Goederede Tower), which still stands today. Goederede went into a long decline, losing trade to better-sited ports. There were insufficient funds to maintain the church. In 1706 the dilapidated building was pulled down, but the tower was preserved.
Oh, you better be aware
There's nothing you can do
'Cause right from this moment
I can't take my eyes off of you
Yeah, I really gotta know
I want to make this real
Why should I pay just for something
I know, I can steal
But don't you worry
Why don't you stay for the night
It's the same old story
I'll love you till the morning light
But tomorrow you'll find your way home
And here I go again
I'll take it on the run
Dressed up n' ready for action
It won't take too long
If you wanna play the game
You gotta feel no shame
I'm burning with passions desires
Do you feel the same?
You better hurry
Why don't you stay for the night
It's the same old story
I'll love you till the morning light
But tomorrow you'll find your way home
Way home, way home
I can't think of no other but you in my lonely nights
I'm beggin' you honey, don't leave me this way
But don't you worry
Why don't you stay for the night
It's the same old story
I'll love you till the morning light
And you know, I'll make you feel alright
Don't ask yourself what's wrong or right
It's the same old story
Don't let us waist one more night
But tomorrow you'll find your way home
