[Intro] (Horns stab – drums shuffle) Yeah, yeah, now listen here! Let me tell you somethin’, baby… [Verse 1] I’ve been down and I’ve been lonely, Had my share of tears and pain, But when that good woman touched me, Lord, I ain’t been the same! She got a heart made outta mercy, And a smile that fits like a glove, There ain’t nothin’ in this world, child, Like a good woman’s love. [Chorus] A good woman’s love — It’ll lift you when you fall, A good woman’s love — It’ll answer when you call. You can keep your money, Keep your stars above, All a man really needs, Is a good woman’s love! [Verse 2] She don’t wear no diamonds, Ain’t got pearls around her neck, But when she wraps her arms around me, That’s a million-dollar check. She got the power of the river, Rollin’ down from God above, And I’m a lucky, lucky man, child, To have a good woman’s love! [Bridge – call & response] (Say it again!) — Good woman’s love! (What you need?) — Good woman’s love! When the night gets cold, when the storm gets rough, There’s nothin’ like that good woman’s love! [Chorus – repeat] A good woman’s love — It’ll lift you when you fall, A good woman’s love — It’ll answer when you call. You can keep your fortune, Keep your stars above, I got heaven right here, In a good woman’s love! [Outro] Mmm, yeah! Good woman, good woman, yeah! That’s all I need, child… That’s all I need… (Drums hit – horns finish strong)
