Words by Paul Barrere and Bill Payne -- music by Bill Payne and Ken Gradney It's been a one man show that I been runnin' On a two way street for love And I see no end to the dead end (dead end) 'Til you come back home I tried everything to keep remembering One good woman, one good man Two shots of happiness in one life span It takes a one good woman The only thing that hurts is the memory Of having once lived by myself And I've tried every kind of woman I said woman, put my love out on the shelf Took everything and left my ears ringing One good woman, one good man Two shots of happiness in one life span It takes one good woman to make a one love stand I feel at home in a foreign land Know what's next when there's nothing planned Talking about love (Talking about love) You know it takes two She took everything and left my ears ringing One good woman - one Two shots of happiness - two It takes one good woman To make a one love stand One good woman
