Once I had a good man Once a good man, he had me A “happy do right” good man Made me sing sweet melodies
Happiness was around me You know I had to get mine’s twice No sorrow will surround me Once a good man, you know he did me right
Treated me good Made me happy But then one day he left me
There’s something I must confess When he left, I was in a mess
Oooh let me testify Let me rectify And explain how he did me wrong
Ooh he left me all alone Oh! One day that good man was gone Whoa! He left me all alone And I said,
“Is there some state of true love? Between a woman and a man?” I guess I gotta keep on searching. Yeah! I’ma keep on searching ‘til I find that love again
Oh! Gotta keep on looking I’m gonna look high, hey! I’m gonna look low Yeah, everywhere I go
Gotta keep on looking! Yeah! For that true love again Yeah, let me find that true love again Break it down, break it down… yeah…
Well, ahem um um… yeah Gonna keep on looking For that true love again
