Sometimes a man can take for granted All of the things he already possess 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 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 It 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 havin’ some hot food on my plate Thank you baby
You are the one Who always understands The changes in my life You coulda 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 yes you have) And 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
We got a special thing And my mama, she didn’t raise no fool She said Lenny, always hang on To the thing that’s been good to you
My mama loved right But my daddy, sometimes, sometimes he 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 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
