A Good Woman

If you've got a good woman
be sure to treat her right
give her roses in the daytime
give her all your love at night,
consider her with tenderness
if you don't fit the bill,
she can always find another man that will.

You can tell her every day 
you'll always love her so
but if you don't prove it to her
she will never know,
don't treat her like your cook
or someone you can take to bed,
or you'll find her love for you
will soon be dead.

If you've got a good woman
never wear a frown
you should always be happy
and never put her down,
and once she shows her love for you
hold her if you can,
all you really need to do
is be a good man.
