Honey I'm a good man, but I'm a cheating man
And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love
And I wanna do right. I don't wanna hurt nobody
If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

When I was a young boy
I used to watch my daddy play
And in my heart I'd always say
That he was wrong
He had to be crazy
Knocked stone cold out outta his mind -
To be leaving my pretty mama all alone

She'd always sit patient and waiting then
Cussing and crying
And who would have to be there to comfort her?
And I would have to look my mama
Right square in her eyes
And I'd swear that I'd never hurt no woman like that

Baby I'm a good man, but I'm a cheating man
And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love
And I wanna do right. I don't wanna hurt nobody
If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

Now that I'm older
I found it's time to settle down
'Cause I need some love around
To make me whole
But things are funny
'Cause things I swore that I'd never do
I find myself falling a victim to
Losing total control

Oh yeah 'cause, recently I ran into
Someone who reminds me of you and
Even though I know that kinda thing ain't right
I find myself caught up in lies
Tryna swim against the tide
And as the stage gets set for drama
I can't stop thinking about my mama

I'm a good man, but I'm a cheating man
And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love
And I wanna do right. I don't wanna hurt nobody
If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

Honey I'm a good man, but I'm a cheating man
And I'll do all I can to get a lady's love
And I wanna do right. I don't wanna hurt nobody
If I slip, well then I'm sorry, yes I am

Yes I am

Yes I am

Oh
