[Verse1]
I was looking for love that I'd heard about
People said I found it when he came around
Can you be swept off your feet if you’re not on solid ground?
They said you'll grow to love him, if you don't love him now
[Chorus]
If he gave me a reason I could get up and leave
And if I could only cry, then maybe I could feel
I wish I could blame him for me wanting to be free
But in our lonely bed, I’ll choose this good man over me
[Verse 2]
He's everything they said he'd be and I wish that were enough
When you settle it's not compromise, its comfort over love
We sit in separate rooms, I've let go of what's not fair
I lose myself in long ago while he plays solitaire
[Chorus]
If he gave me a reason I could get up and leave
And if I could only cry, then maybe I could feel
I wish I could blame him for me wanting to be free
But in our lonely bed, I'll choose this good man over me
[Bridge]
Who am I to think that I could hold what's in my dreams
And how long do you wait for the one that’s meant to be
At night, I lie longing for what if’s and could have been's
And pretend that he’s the one I love and that I'm a good woman
[Chorus]
If he gave me a reason I could get up and leave
And if I could only cry, then maybe I could feel
I wish I could blame him for me wanting to be free
But in our lonely bed I'll choose this good man, good man
He's a good man over me
[Outro]
Good man
Good man
Good man
