Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh I, I got a man, yeah
Sho' nuff, a real man, uh uh
Good ole man, that's what I got
Good ole man, said it helps a lot
[Verse 2]
A real man strong, but tender
Baby, that's the kind of man I need
To his love, I will surrender
'Cause he'll keep his mind of pleasing me
[Verse 3]
'Cause he's the right kind of lover
I'll never need another
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover for me
[Verse 4]
An interesting conversation
Every once in a while
Always prompt and attentive
Wants my diamond, knows that diamond's my style
[Verse 5]
For he's the right kind of lover
I'll never need another
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover for me
[Verse 6]
He's the right kind of lover
I'll never need another
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover for me
[Verse 7]
Do you know? I say
Every night when I get down on my knees to pray
I thank the Lord for sending Mister Right my way
This kind of love had to come from heaven down
I ain't never gonna let him go
Because I need this kind of man around
[Verse 8]
'Cause he's the right kind of lover
I'll never need another
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover for me, yeah
[Verse 9]
He's the right kind of lover
I'll never need another
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover for me
[Verse 10]
Yes, he is
Strong and attentive
Yeah
Said that he's the right height and the right build
Goes to work every day and the man pays all my bills
Come home in the evening, moving slow
But girls, I'm here to tell you, the man can go, go, go
He just loves me, ooh, the right way
That's how he keeps this permanent smile on my face
[Verse 11]
He's the right man
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover
Oh
That's my baby
[Verse 12]
He's the right kind of lover
I'll never need another
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover
[Verse 13]
He's the right kind of lover
I'll never need another
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover for me
[Verse 14]
That's my babe
Uh huh
He's Mister Right
That's my baby
Said he's Mister Good Stuff
Good stuff
Said he's Mister Good Stuff
He's Mister Right
Good stuff
[Verse 15]
He's the right kind of lover
I'll never need another
Sho' nuff, he's got the stuff
He's the right kind of lover for me
[Verse 16]
Give me what I need, yeah
You're what I need
You're all I want, babe
