[Verse 1]
He's a worthless sort of guy, but what a case I've got
First, he loves me good, and then he loves me not
He rules me like a puppet on a string
But a good man is a seldom thing
[Verse 2]
He says he'll drop around, I dream and watch and wait
And hush the wiser voice that whispers, "Fool, it's too late!"
But I need, I need that little love you bring
But a good man is a seldom thing
[Bridge]
I tell myself that it's finished
For love it's the end of the line
And so, I tell him I'm finished
But he knows there's that one more time
[Verse 3]
He'll be by tonight to talk it up a bit
And sell me on the hunch that maybe this is it
Then, like a lonely child I'll cry and cling
Oh, I'm tired of this sometime fling
But a good man is a seldom thing
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 3]
He'll be by tonight to talk it up a bit
And sell me on the hunch that maybe this is it
Then, like a lonely child I'll cry and cling
Oh, I'm tired of this sometime fling
But a good man is a seldom thing
