Lyrics

My heart is sad and I'm all alone My man's treating me mean I regret the day that I was born And the man I ever seen My happiness is less today My heart is broke, that's why I say Lord, a good man is hard to find You always get another kind Just when you think that he's your pal You look and find him foolin' 'round some old gal Then you rave, you all crave You want to see him in his grave So if your man is nice, take my advice Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night Give him plenty lovin', treat your good man right Oh, a good man out there is so hard to find Oh, a good man is so hard to find We always get that roughed old kind Just when you think that he's your pal You look and find him hangin' 'round some old gal Then you rave, how you crave You wanna see him dead layin' in his grave So if your man is nice, take my advice Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night Give him plenty love madam, treat your man right 'Cause a good man nowadays sure is hard to find
