Now here's a story with a moral
All you girls should pay some mind
When you find a man worth keepin', be satisfied
Make sure to treat him kind
'Cause a good man is hard to find
You can always get the other kind (that's mean)
When you think you got a pal
You can find him messin' around another gal
Then you rave, you'll even start to crave
To see him lyin' deep down in his grave
So if your man is nice, baby, take my advice
You better hug him in the mornin'
Kiss him every night
Give him plenty lovin'
Treat him right
'Cause a good man nowadays is hard to find
Now, I got a chick (a chick?) Yeah
About six-foot too (man, that's tall), bigger
She never thought a midget like me will do
One fine day, she met some other guy
He took all her money (mm), then left her flat
(He literally robbed her)
He's no good, no good
Now she's callin' me back on her phone
She says, "Baby, you better come on home, I'm all alone"
But if I'm gonna go back to her grass shack
She's gotta hug me in the mornin'
Kiss me every night
Give me plenty lovin'
Treat me right
'Cause a good man nowadays is hard to find
I went back (you returned?) Yeah
But I told that gal it how
I said, "Then was then, woman, now is now
If you want me to stay, there's just one but
Get a smile on your face, and keep your big mouth shut"
Now we're back together, everything's fine
I run the house, Jack, she better not step out of line
Now she knows what to do when the day is through
She's got to hug me in the a.m
Kiss you in the p.m
Give me plenty lovin'
With all her might
'Cause a good man nowadays is hard to find
