"We Could Be So Good Together" is a song by American rock band The Doors, appearing as the ninth song on their 1968 album, Waiting for the Sun. The song has been described (fx in No One Here Gets Out Alive) as lead singer Jim Morrison's way of telling his audience what kind of world they would be able to create if they simply tried.

A review in Slant Magazine[1] described the song as "categorically pre-fame Morrison" ("The time you wait subtracts from joy" is the kind of hippie idealism he'd long given up on), thus implying that this is one of the songs that The Doors had written long before the recording sessions for their third album, and that it is among those pieces, which hadn't already been used on The Doors or Strange Days.
