Lyrics for A Good Man Is Hard To Find

A good man is hard to find, Yes you always get the other kind And when you think he's your regular pal, You look for him and find Him messing round some other gal Then you'll rave, yes you crave, You wanna see him dead, wanna kill him, and in his grave Now if your man is nice, Take my advice Hug him in the morning Kiss him late at night Give him lots of loving, And be sure to treat him right Cause a good man now days is hard to find, have mercy I said a good man, huh, is hard to find, Yes you always get the other kind And when you think he's your regular pal, You look for him and find Him messing around some other gal Then you'll rave, yes you crave, You wanna see him dead and in his grave Now if you can be nice Take my advice. Love him in the morning, Kiss him late at night Give him loads of loving And be sure to treat him right Cause a good man, now days is hard to find, how I said, lay it on me now, talk to me, yeah hey, ho, have mercy Yeah that's the kind of man I want, a real man, ho. Ho, I hear you playing it, lay it on me Yes a good man, is so hard to find, Ha, you always get the other kind And when you think he's your all and all You look for him and find him in another chicks Stall Then you rave, yes you crave You wanna see him dead and in his grave But if he won't be nice, Take my advice Hug him in the morning, Kiss him late at night And bop him over the head with a brick a few times, And I'll bet he'll treat you right And then that man of yours won't be so hard to find
