One Love Stand

It's been a one man show that I've been runnin'
On a two way street for love
And I see no end to this dead end
'Til you come back home
And I've tried everything to keep remembering
One good woman
One good man
Two shots of happiness in one life span
It takes a woman and one good man
To make a one love stand
The only thing that hurts is the memory
Of having once lived by myself
And I tried every kind of hustlin' man
Put my love out on a shelf
Well, he took everything and left my ears ringing
One good woman
One good man
Two shots of happiness in one life span
It takes a woman and one good man
I feel at home in a foreign land
You know what's next when there's nothing planned
I'm talking 'bout love
You know it takes two
Well, he took everything and left my ears ringing
One good woman
One good man
Two shots of happiness in one life span
It takes a woman and one good man
It takes a woman and one good man
To make a one love stand
