Good Man, Good Woman

Bonnie Raitt & Delbert McLinton



Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Midnight, I'm wound up tight

Slowly comin' down in the daytime

I been lyin' low from work, hangin over from the hurt from you babe

But I'm gonna suffer through the strain, till I get a better thing with you

Darlin, me and you.



So hard to see so far ahead

When I can't seem to drag myself out of bed

Gotta find me a good man, a good man, good man, yeah.



You better stop, think about what you're saying

I was seriously dedicated, in the game of playin'

You made ten thousand promises you couldn't keep

I forgave you when you lied, pleaded and weeped

Put up with your disrespect and neglect

What an experience, I'll never forget.



Till now, everything I did was wrong (I'm sorry, baby)

Today you're free, but we live alone

Gotta find me a good woman...Good woman...Good woman, yeah.



It was twelve o'clock in the midnight hour

I heard the door slam, and then the shower

When I got up, you were already gone

I slipped and fell, from the water you left on.



Gotta find a good woman

Gotta find a good man

Gotta find a goodwoman

Gotta find a good man...
