Good Man
Choosing Love Over Easy: Tami Neilson's Ode to a Good Man
Lyrics
I don't hear you
I am not hearing your words or understanding your communication.
And by now I should hear you
By now, I should have been able to understand or perceive your message.
Even when you don't say a word
Even when you are silent, I should be able to comprehend your feelings or thoughts.
You don't see me
You are not noticing or recognizing me.
Sometimes you don't see me
At times, you fail to see me in the way I desire.
The way I wish you would
I wish you would perceive me differently.
But you know I'm gonna choose you
I am committed to choosing you in any situation where a choice is required.
If there's a choice to be made
If there's a decision to be made, I will choose you without hesitation.
I'd be a damn fool to lose you
It would be foolish to lose you, risking losing my path or direction in life.
And lose my way, lose my way
I fear losing my way if I lose you.
Cause you're a good man and a good
You possess qualities of a good man.
Good man don't just come along every day
Good men are rare and valuable, not found every day.
A good, good man, my love, my sweetest friend
You are a good man, my love and dearest friend.
It's always you I'm gonna come back to
I will always come back to you; you are my constant choice.
My, my, my good man
(No specific meaning, possibly emphasizing the goodness of the man)
I know, I know, I know I'm not easy
I acknowledge that I am not easy to deal with.
But gettin' things easy
You, however, prefer dealing with challenges rather than choosing an easy path.
Was never quite your style
Your style is not about taking the easy route.
And I love you, love you, love you
I express deep love for you, different from anyone else.
Love you like nobody else baby
My love for you extends to both good and difficult times.
The good and the hard times
Challenging and pleasant times with you are equally valuable.
They're just the same thing
Having you by my side makes both challenging and good times similar.
When I got you by my side
Your presence makes challenging and good times indistinguishable.
But you know I'm gonna choose you
I am committed to choosing you in any situation where a choice is required.
If there's a choice to be made
If there's a decision to be made, I will choose you without hesitation.
I'd be a damn fool to lose you
It would be foolish to lose you, risking losing my path or direction in life.
And lose my way, lose my way
I fear losing my way if I lose you.
Cause you're a good man and a good
You possess qualities of a good man.
Good man don't just come along every day
Good men are rare and valuable, not found every day.
A good, good man, my love, my sweetest friend
You are a good man, my love and dearest friend.
It's always you I'm gonna come back to
I will always come back to you; you are my constant choice.
My, my, my good man
