You've Been Good to Me

Sometimes a man can take for granted

All of the things he already possess, mmm

And sometimes a man can overlook

All of the little things without regret

I don't wanna be that kind of man

So take my hand

I wanna show you how much you mean to me, my love

You've been good to me (Oh baby)

My love (Oh yes you have)

And it's plain to see (It's plain, it's plain to see)

That you're the best thing that ever happened to me

You've been good to me

And I wanna tell the world, the whole world, oh

Oh, there were times I came home in a fuss

This whole world can be so cruel

But that should never come between us

And yes, there were times I came home a little late

But never did I walk through that door

Without you having some hot food on my plate

Thank you, baby

You were the one who always understood

The changes in my life

You could've walked out that door

Said, "I can't take it no more"

But I'm so glad you stayed

You've been good to me (Oh baby)

My love (Oh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

And it's plain to see (It's plain, it's

Plain to see, you've been so good, baby)

My love

And I wanna tell the whole world, the whole world

We got a special thing (A special thing)

And my mama, she didn't raise no fool (No fool)

She said, "Lenny, always hang on

To the thing that's been good to you" (Been good to you)

My mama loved right, oh

But my daddy, sometimes, sometimes he loved wrong (Loved wrong)

But a good woman knows when to walk away

And she knows when, when to hold on

You've been good to me (Oh baby)

My love (You've been good)

And it's plain to see (It's so plain for everybody to see)

That you're the best thing that ever happened to me

You've been good to me (You've been good, oh, you've been so good)

My love (And I want the whole world to know)

And it's plain to see (It's plain, it's plain to see, yeah, yeah)
