Real Good Man

(Laura Overstreet)
Music and Lyrics by Laura Overstreet
Needs no explanation. We all know how hard it is to get a real good man. No seriously, a wonderful poet by the name of B. F. Maiz once told me that 'love is easy'. I believe that. It's all the other stuff that's so hard.
My worst nightmare is to no longer feel alive. . .know what I mean?
Well, you're everything I need
That's what they say
You're the one I need to please,
Maybe someday
Well, I'd like to be with you later sometime
And I'll try to remember to get you on my mind
I'd like to get all worked up over you
Cause you're a real good man-that's what I ought to do
Uh huh, oh yeah, uh huh

But the other men I know keep me on the edge
They build me up and leave me standing on a ledge
Well I guess you need the bitter to really taste the sweet
You think I'd know better but they're the men I meet
I'd like to get all worked up over you
Cause you're a real good man, that's what I ought to do
Uh huh, oh yeah, uh huh

Well the thing that really scares me
What I don't want to do
Is sit down to an empty plate
Nothin' there to chew
I want days I can remember
Nights I can't forget
Men who give me chills
Men who make me sweat
I'd like to get all worked up over you
Cause you're a real good man
That's what I ought to do
Uh huh, oh yeah, uh huh
