A Good Man

No, you can't keep a good man down When you got a good woman to keep it up No, you can't stand on firmer ground When love is the question I got enough Ooh, with lips so sweet Our love just can't be beat, my darling, oh yeah A love like yours and mine Can stand the test of time, my darling, oh yeah But for tomorrow -- tomorrow never comes Love is the secret -- goes living on No, you can't keep a good man down When you got a good woman to keep it up No, you can't stand on firmer ground When love is the question I got enough Just when I need you, show me the way You came into my world -- turned my night to day What good is a man without a woman? But for the trouble -- trouble always comes Love is the secret -- goes living on No, you can't keep a good man down When you got a good woman to keep it up No, you can't stand on firmer ground When love is the question I got enough Ooh, your love is strong Keep me forever, you're my darling, oh yeah A love like yours and mine Can stand the test of time, my darling, oh yeah But for tomorrow -- tomorrow never comes Love is the secret -- goes living on No, you can't keep a good man down When you got a good woman to keep it up No, you can't stand on firmer ground When love is the question I've got enough

Are you a good man? Would you help me if you can? Are you a good man? Would you make them understand? Are you a good man with a mirror in your hand? When progress comes a-knocking Try to do the best you can Are you a good man? Do you even have a plan? Are you a good man? Would you build your house on sand? Are you a good man with a bottle in your hand? Temptation comes a-knocking Try to do the best you can Why don't you try to do the best you can? Are you a good man? (Good man) Have you done all that you can? Are you a good man? (Good man) Or have you found the promised land? Are you a good man with a beacon in your hand? When darkness comes a-knocking Try to do the best you can, oh yeah Try to do the best you can, oh yeah Try to do the best you can, oh yeah Why don't you try to do the best you can?

It just occurred to me I must be blind Why do I try so hard to keep my cool When I'm about to lose my mind There was a vision Flashing by Of a summers' day I spent with you Of a child who never learnt how to cry When those around me Fall in despair I call upon my common sense 'Cause someone has to care A sudden decision I can't explain Though I've often tried to change the rules The game remains the same For love I've played the part so many times It fits me like a glove But I'm the victim In the bitter end I know you need me to be strong L just don't know how much longer I can pretend You always need me to be A good man in a storm It sometimes scares me The further we go Just how much we understand And just how much we know So whatever happened In our hearts While making perfect sense of life We still remain so far apart You always want me to be A good man in a storm Trying to fit the social norm And be a good man in a storm Trying hard since I was born To be a good man in a storm

I always play Russian Roulette in my head It's sventeen black and twenty-nine red How far from the gutter How far fron the pew I'll always remember to forget about you A good man's is hard to find Only strangers sleep in my bed My favorite words are good-bye And my favorite color is red A long dead soldier looks out From the frame No one remembers his war No one remembers his name Go out to the meadow Scare off all the crows It does nothing but rain here, And nothing will grow A good man's is hard to find Only strangers sleep in my bed My favorite words are good-bye And my favorite color is And my favorite color is And my favorite color is red
