I want a good man
A downright uptight Lord a good man
Now he don't have a handsome face
Just two loving arms, yeah
To keep me safe
A man with courage and pride
Somebody, yeah, to stand by my side
I want a good man
A downright uptight Lord he's got to be a good man
Or no man at all

You see, a lot of men in life
Think that women were made to be abused and used
Girls the same thing apply to you
But we all fail to realize that
What goes up must come down
And you've got to reap just what you sow
Girls, so let's take your time
And try to find somebody to love you,
And that will appreciate you
And that's why

I need a good man
Y'all know him
A downright uptight
I just got to have a good man now
Or no man at all
