Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah
[Intro]
Ooh
Uh
Yeah, hey
Alright
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Ooh)
Gotta say it again now
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Yeah, he's a mighty, mighty good man)
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Yes, he is)
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Uh, yeah)
[Verse 1]
I wanna take a minute or two
And give much respect due
To the man that's made a difference in my world
And although most men are hoes
He flows on the down low
'Cause I never heard about him with another girl
But I don't sweat it
Because it's just pathetic
To let it get me involved in that 'he said, she said' crowd
I know that ain't nobody perfect
I give props to those who deserve it
And believe me, y'all, he's worth it (Ooh, yeah)
So here's to the future 'cause we got through the past
I finally found somebody that can make me laugh
You so crazy
I think I wanna have your baby
[Chorus]
(Ow, alright) What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man
Yes, he is
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man
Oh, he's a mighty, mighty good man
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Ooh ooh, uh, you got to say it again now)
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Hey)
[Verse 2]
My man is smooth like Barry and his voice got bass
A body like Arnold with a Denzel face
He's smart like a doctor with a real good rep
And when he comes home, he's relaxed with pep
He always got a gift for me every time I see him
A lot of snot-nosed ex flames couldn't be him
He never ran a corny line once to me yet
So I give him stuff that he'll never forget (Ooh, yeah)
He keeps me on cloud nine just like the Temps
He's not a fake wannabe tryna be a pimp (Yeah)
He dresses like a dapper don but even in jeans
He's a God-sent original, the man of my dreams (Yeah, ooh, yeah)
[Verse 3]
Yes, my man says he loves me, never says he loves me not
Man ah rush me good and touch me in the right spot
See other guys that I've had, they tried to play all the mack ****
But every time they tried I said, "That's not it"
But not this man, he's got the right potion
Baby, rub it down and make it smooth like lotion
Yeah, the ritual, highway to heaven
From 7 to 7, he's got me open like 7-Eleven
And, yes, it's me that he's always choosing
With him I'm never losing and he knows that my name is not Susan
He always has heavy conversation for the mind
Which means a lot to me 'cause good men are hard to find (Ooh, yeah)
[Chorus]
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Ooh, uh, yeah)
He's a mighty, mighty good man
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Ooh, alright, say it again, y'all)
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Uh)
Uh, ooh, ooh
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Oh, I said a-what a-mighty good man)
[Bridge]
Ooh (Know what I'm saying?)
He's a mighty, mighty good man, y'all (Ooh)
Y'all done hear me?
Now check him out
[Verse 4]
My man gives real loving, that's why I call him killer
He's not a 'wham bam thank you, ma'am', he's a thriller
He takes his time and does everything right
Knocks me out with one shot for the rest of the night
He's a real smooth brother, never in a rush
And he gives me goose pimples with every single touch
Spends quality time with his kids when he can
Secure in his manhood 'cause he's a real man
A lover and a fighter and he'll knock a knucker out
Don't take him for a sucker 'cause that's not what he's about
Every time I need him, he always got my back
Never disrespectful 'cause his mama taught him that
[Chorus]
I got a good man
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man
Uh, a mighty, mighty good man
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Ooh)
Yes, he is, oh
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Ooh)
What a mighty good man
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man (Ooh)
He's a mighty, mighty good man, y'all
Ooh
Uh
What a mighty, mighty good man, oh
Ooh
Yeah
What a mighty good man
Ooh
Yeah, whoo
Ooh
Now break it down
A-break it down a-one time
[Outro]
Good God
Good God (What a man, what a man)
Good God
Good God (What a man, what a man)
Good God
Good God (What a man, what a man)
Good God
Good God
