One Good Man
|

Honey, I love to go to parties And I like to have a good time But if it gets too pale after a while Honey and I start looking to find One good man Don't you know I've been searching, yes, I have One good man Ain't much, honey, ain't much It's only everything And I don't want much out of life I never wanted a mansion in the south I just want to find someone sincere Who'd treat me like he talks One good man Honey, don't you know that I've been looking One good man Ain't much, honey, it ain't much It's only everything, all right Some girls they want to collect their men They wear them like notches on a gun Honey, but I know better than that I know that a woman only needs one One good man Baby, don't you know I've been looking One good man It ain't much, no, no honey it ain't much It's only every little thing Just everything, everything |

Time keeps moving on Friends, they turn away I keep moving on But I never found out why I keep pushing so hard the dream I keep trying to make it right Through another lonely day Dawn has come at last Twenty-five years, honey, just in one night Well, I'm twenty-five years older now So I know we can't be right And I'm no better, baby And I can't help you no more Than I did when just a girl But it don't make no difference, babe, no, no And I know that I could always try It don't make no difference, babe I better hold it now I better need it I better use it till the day I die Don't expect any answers, dear For I know that they don't come with age, no, no Well, ain't never gonna love you any better, babe And I'm never gonna love you right So you'd better take it now, right now But it don't make no difference, babe And I know that I could always try There's a fire inside of everyone of us You'd better need it now I got to hold it I better use it till the day I die Don't make no difference, babe, no, no, no And it never ever will I wanna talk about a little bit of loving I got to hold it, baby I'm gonna need it now I'm gonna use it, say ah Don't make no difference, babe Honey, I'd hate to be the one I said you're gonna live your life And you're gonna love your life Or babe, someday you're gonna have to cry Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed Baby, yes indeed I said you, you're always gonna hurt me I said you're always gonna let me down I said everywhere, every day, every day And every way, every way Honey, won't you hold on to what's gonna move I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back I said you know it ain't gonna be there When you wanna reach out and grab on |
