Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
My heart's sad and I am all forlorn,
My man's treating me mean,
I regret the day that I was born,
And that man of mine I've ever seen;
Happiness, it never lasts a day,
My heart is almost breaking while I say ...
A good man is hard to find, you always get the other kind,
Just when you think that he is your pal,
You look for him and find him fooling 'round some other gal.
Then you rave, you even crave you want to see him dead in his grave
So, if your man is nice, take my advice:
Hug him in the morning, kiss him ev'ry night,
Give him plenty lovin', treat your man right.
For a good man nowadays is hard to find.
