cheating man

honey i'm a good man

but i'm a cheating man

and i'll do all i can to get a lady's love

and i wanna do right. i don't wanna hurt nobody

if i slip

well then i'm sorry

yes i am

when i was a young boy

i used to watch my daddy play

and in my heart i'd always say

that he was wrong

he had to be crazy

knocked stone cold out outta his mind -

to be leaving my pretty mama all alone

she'd always sit patient and waiting then

cussing and crying

and who would have to be there to comfort her?

and i would have to look my mama

right square in her eyes

and i'd swear that i'd never hurt no woman like that

baby i'm a good man

but i'm a cheating man

and i'll do all i can to get a lady's love

and i wanna do right. i don't wanna hurt nobody

if i slip

well then i'm sorry

yes i am

now that i'm older

i found it's time to settle down

'cause i need some love around

to make me whole

but things are funny

'cause things i swore that i'd never do

i find myself falling a victim to

losing total control

oh yeah 'cause

recently i ran into

someone who reminds me of you and

even though i know that kinda thing ain't right

i find myself caught up in lies

tryna swim against the tide

and as the stage gets set for drama

i can't stop thinking about my mama

i'm a good man

but i'm a cheating man

and i'll do all i can to get a lady's love

and i wanna do right. i don't wanna hurt nobody

if i slip

well then i'm sorry

yes i am

honey i'm a good man

yes i am

yes i am

oh
