Lyrics for One Good Man

"Honey, I love to go to parties And I like to have a good time, But if it gets too pale after a while Honey and I start looking to find One good man. Hmm, don't you know I've been searching, Oh yes I have! One good man, Oh ain't much, honey ain't much, It's only everything, whoa. An' I don't want much outa life, I never wanted a mansion in the South. I just-a want to find someone sincere Who'd treat me like he talks, One good man. Oh honey don't you know that I've been looking. Oh, one good man Ain't much, honey it ain't much, Oh, it's only everything. All right. Some girls they want to collect their men, They wear 'em like notches on a gun. Oh honey, but I know better than that, I know that a woman only needs one. One good man, oh, Oh baby don't you know I've been looking, hmm. One good man, It ain't much, no, no honey it ain't much, Oh, it's only every little thing, Just-a everything, everything Ah yeah."
