You've Been Good To Me

Sometimes a man can take for granted
All of the things he already possess
And sometimes a man can overlook
All of the little things without regret

I don't wanna be that kind of man
So take my hand
I wanna show you how much you mean
To me, my love

You've been good to me (oh baby)
My love (oh yes you have)
And it's plain to see
That you're the best thing
That ever happened to me
You've been good to me
And I wanna tell the world
The whole world, oh

Oh, there were times
I came home in a fuss
This whole world
It be so cruel
But that should never
Come between us

And yes there were times
I came home a little late
But never did I walk through that door
Without you having some hot food on my plate
Thank you baby

You are the one
Who always understands
The changes in my life
You coulda walked out that door
Said I can't take it no more
But I'm so glad you stayed

You've been good to me (oh baby)
My love (oh yes you have)
And it's plain to see
That you're the best thing
That ever happened to me
You've been good to me
And I wanna tell the world
The whole world

We got a special thing
And my mama, she didn't raise no fool
She said Lenny, always hang on
To the thing that's been good to you

My mama loved right
But my daddy, sometimes, sometimes he loved wrong
But a good woman knows when to walk away
And she knows when, when to hold on

You've been good to me (oh baby)
My love (you've been good)
And it's plain to see
That you're the best thing
That ever happened to me
You've been good to me
And I wanna tell the world
The whole world
