Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm a good man
Food on the table
Workin' two jobs
Ready, willin', and able, check
I'm good man
I'm havin' fun
And got no kids and I love the Lord, check
I'm good man
I'm monogamous
Never did time, well maybe just once, check
I'm a good man
And I puts it down
Wanna say it twice, well, I puts it down, check
(Check, check)
[Verse 2]
How could you ever walk away
After all I've done for you?
I feel like there's a knife in my back, babe
You might as well put it all the way through
Good man
[Verse 3]
I'm a good man
Food on the table
Workin' two jobs
Ready, willin', and able, check (Good man)
I'm a good man
I'm havin' fun
Got no kids and I love the Lord, check (Good man)
I'm a good man
I'm monogamous
Never did time, well maybe just once, check (Good man)
I'm a good man
And I puts it down
Wanna say it twice, well, I puts it down, check
[Verse 4]
You watched them handcuff me, lady
And walked me through my own home
I never been so humiliated
I don't think that I deserved this from you
Good man
[Verse 5]
I'm a good man
Food on the table
Workin' two jobs
Ready, willin', and able, check (Good man)
I'm a good man
I'm havin' fun
Got no kids and I love the Lord, check (Good, good man)
I'm a good man
I'm monogamous
Never did time, well maybe just once, check (Good man)
I'm a good man
And I puts it down
Wanna say it twice, well, I puts it down, check
[Verse 6]
Right now, I'm better
(What was I goin' through?)
Better than ever
(That was the hardest time of my life)
So much better now
(But I do understand, you gotta go through it to get to it)
My life is better
(But I just didn't think I'd be going through this)
My love is greater
(With you)
So much better
(But I'm so much better now)
Without you (Let the horns blow)
[Verse 7]
I never felt so good inside
Without you
I never felt so good inside
[Verse 8]
(I'm a good man)
How could you just get up and walk away?
See, but, but when things got rough
You quickly ran in to trade me, somebody save me
(I'm a good man)
There's one thing I know
So I'm gonna tell you
That I'm a good man
Thanks to you
Good man
Good man
Good man
Good man
