Ahhhhhh! Show me a man that's got a good woman

Show me a man that's got a good woman
Show me a man that's got a good woman
Show me a man that's got a good woman
Show me a man that's got a good woman
I'll show you a man that goes to work hummin'
He knows he's got some sweet love coming
At the end of his working day
Yeah
Show me a woman that's got a good man
Show me!
I wanna see a woman out there that claims she got a good man!
Show me!
And if you show me a woman that's got a good man
Show me a woman that's got a good man
Show me a woman that's got a good man
Show me a woman that's got a good man
Show me a woman that's got a good man
I'll show you a woman doin' all she can
To make life worth living for her good man
So his troubles don't cross his mind
Yeah
Show me two people that's in love with each other
Y'all, show me
I want you to show me two people that's in love with each other

Show me two people in love with each other
Show me two people in love with each other
Show me two people that's in love with each other

Than their arms can reach to hold one another
Let them lovers alone, yeah

That's why I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a, kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
I can preach until you're, deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa yeah

People let me tell you 'bout a, kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
Ah, saved (saved)
I can-a preach until you're, deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa yeah
I used to lie (lie)
I used to cheat (cheat)
I used to lie,(lie) cheat(cheat) and step on peoples feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on peoples feet
