My heart is sad and I'm all alone
My man's treating me mean
I regret the day that I was born
And the man I ever seen

My happiness is less today
My heart is broke, that's why I say
Lord, a good man is hard to find
You always get another kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You look and find him foolin' 'round some old gal
Then you rave, you all crave

You want to see him in his grave
So if your man is nice, take my advice
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty lovin'
Treat your good man right

Oh, a good man is so hard to find
We always get that roughed old kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You like and find him hangin' 'round some old gal
Then you rave, how you crave
You wanna see him dead layin' in his grave

So if your man is nice, take my advice
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty love, madam, treat your man right
'Cause a good man nowadays sure is hard to find
