I Don’t Deserve A Good Woman
My papa never taught me how to treat a woman right
And any time I’m with a woman seems I always want to fight
I’d like to find a good woman who’ll love me whatever it takes
But every time a good woman comes along I chase her away
[chorus]
I don’t deserve a good woman;
I’m low down, ugly, and mean to the bone.
If I got what I deserved
I’d spend the rest of my life alone
I’ve tried to deny it
But I finally realized it’s true
I don’t deserve a good woman
That’s why I got you
My mama tol’ me, “Son, don’t ever treat a woman bad”
But I didn’t wanna listen so I slapped her and made her mad
She spanked my little bottom and stood me in a corner all day
And as soon as I could I packed a bag and ran away
[chorus]
If you got a good woman you can take a lesson from me
You want to know how to treat her – just watch what I do and you’ll see
Take notes if you want; tell anyone you want to tell
And what you see me doing – go do anything else
[bridge]
We’re two of a kind, it’s plain to see
You don’t deserve a good man, so you got me!
[chorus]
