He's a good lad
A little bit shy so you'll try and have to understand
Such a good lad
And just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand
His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way
To show you the things that he never could say
He's a good lad
A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind
He ain't so bad
Right to the end he's a friend about the best you can find
As you come to know him, and his needs are comin' through
You'll flash on the day I was talkin' to you
And he needs somebody to love
Yes, he needs somebody to be worthy of
He's a good lad
He's a good lad
And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to
You'll see all the things I was sayin' are true
Tellin' the truth
'cause he needs somebody to love
Yes, he needs somebody to be worthy of
He's a good lad
Maybe he's wild but his style is really gentle and kind
(He's a good lad)
You need a friend, he is about the best you can find
(He ain't so bad)
Little bit shy, so you'll try and have to understand him
(He's a good lad, good lad)
Just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand
(He's a good lad, good lad)
Maybe he's wild but his style is really gentle and kind...
