He's A Good Lad

(album: Manna - 1971)

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 coming through
You'll flash on the day I was talking 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 saying are true
telling 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...
