How to Lose a Good Woman
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · Other Songs - Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Forget about her birthday and then think it's okay
Don't bother to apoligize
Don't even buy her flowers or talk to her for hours
Or notice those tears in her eyes.
That's how to lose a good woman my friend
That's how to lose a good woman
I've seen this plan worth time and again
That's how to lose a good woman.
--- Instrumental ---
Go where your mind leads you
Be gone when she needs you
Show her you're a freeborn man
Go find you some bright lights
And leave her alone nights
And if you'll just follow this plan.
That's how to lose a good woman my friend
That's how to lose a good woman
I've seen this plan worth time and again
That's how to lose a good woman.
That's how to lose a good woman...
