Good Man

Hey, what's up, y'all? (Ooh)

It's your boy, Wendell B

You know, I think it's time to stand up (yeah, babe)

And say somethin' about that hard-workin' brother

You know, I'm always singin' for the ladies

But there's some good men out here

Here's my story

I said I met a little girl, huh, on a Saturday night

I was just running my business (tryin' to make it to my destination from day to night)

Had to play it kind of cool, make a move, can't you?

People, yeah, the girl was so fly, blowin' my mind (I'm a nickel, y'all, but she was a dime)

Let me move a little closer (let me move up, babe)

Hey, hey, 'cause y'all don't think I found my way (for the rest of my life)

God, give me the strength to go get it

'Cause I'm just a simple man (do the best that I can)

I'ma open my mouth and come with it

I took two steps (caught my breath)

Got my composure and told myself ("That I ain't perfect, but I'm damn good") but I'm damn good

Said I work hard every day, I work so hard (steady pushin' like a good man should)

A little house on the hill (and my car ain't more than a bucket)

But baby, I'm a good man (good man)

Baby, I'm a good man (baby, I'm a good man) (check this out)

Now I don't own a lot of real estate

And all the fancy things that come with it

City talkin', mountain layin'

I don't know how, where the hell I'm gonna get it

I'm so far from that

I count my nickels each and every day

So I'm gonna keep on workin' hard

And keepin' my faith in God

Said I ain't perfect, but I'm damn good (oh, babe)

Said I work hard every day (every day), steady pushin' like a good man (yes I do)

About seven o'clock, I got a touch of time (touch of time)

And my car ain't more than a bucket

But baby, I'm a good man

Baby, I'm a good man (yes, I'm a good man)

Said I'm tired of bein' left behind

Somebody tell me what I gotta do to get you (to get you)

I'm tired of workin' so hard, my whole world in a spin

I'm tired of losin', y'all, I'm ready to win

Said I'm up in the mornin', seven o'clock gotta get it

I keep it movin' 'cause I can't be late

I got my light bills, child support

Waitin' for me and I can't be late, oh

You know in life, sometimes all the good things get looked over

You heard me?

See, I might not have the finest cars

The finest home

But I work hard every day to take care of me and mine

So if you're lookin' for somethin' real, check this out

See, life ain't always easy (no, no)

There'll be ups and downs

There'll be storms that'll come along

And turn your whole world around

'Cause what goes around is what's around

One day, it'll come down

I'm just tryin' to keep it real with you

Before my sunny day comes around

Baby, I'm a G-O-O-D-M-A-N (good man, good man)

I'm out here pushin' (tryin' to do the very best that I can)

(I ain't tryin' to say I'm broke) I ain't tryin' to say I'm broke

Girl, I got a little change

But I ain't the one you're lookin' for

If your man gotta make it rain

Said I ain't perfect, oh babe

But I'm damn (but I'm damn good)

Said I work hard every day (every day), for my money

I'm steady pushin' like a good man (I'm pushin', I'm pushin' on)

My little house on the hill

My little car ain't more than a bucket

But I'm good

Girl, I don't claim to be perfect

But I'm good, yeah, I'm good

I work hard every day for my money

I'll bring my check home and give it to you, honey

You talkin' 'bout a good man (good man)

Oh (baby, I'm a good man, good)

Girl, I swear I'm good (good)

Oh, I'ma rub your bath warm

Oh, I'll fix your breakfast in bed

I'm good (good)

Baby, I'm good (good)

Yes, you can tell me I'm good
