A Real Good Woman

by Little Milton

on Annie Mae's Café (1986)

i>Spoken:
I wanna tell y'all something about a real good woman
You see, I used to run around every night
Even my own mother said I'll never change
But then this little girl came into my life
And you know, for the first time I found myself staying at home
Let me tell you about this:

I know a real, real good woman
Can change a no-good man
Yes she can

It takes a real, a real good woman
To change a no-good man
Let me tell you this

Even when he's home
She treat him so good he don't understand
Show so much compassion
She'll have to keep it out of her hand

I know a real, real, real good woman
Know how to change a no-good man
A no-good man like me, that is

I remember one time she caught me
She caught me with a na-na, yes she did
One time she caught me in the arm
Of her so-called best girl friend
That's a shame y'all

I tried to lie my way out
I said I'm a little week
She said: I forgive you daddy
'Cause I understand

And I know a real, a real good woman
She can change a no-good man
Yes she can, y'all, yes she can

I know I was wrong
But I'm still at home
[???]
I left them all alone

I know a real, a real good woman
Shure can change a no-good man
Yes she can, yes she can

Oh, oh I'm so glad you changed me, baby
I love you, I'm so glad, baby
I keep on holdin', keep on holdin' on
Don't you worry, baby
I'll never leave you alone

I know a real, a real good woman
Know how to change a no-good man
One like me, and you, and you, and you ...
