words by Paul Barrere and Bill Payne

-- music by Bill Payne and Ken Gradney



It's been a one man show that I been runnin'

On a two way street for love

And I see no end to the dead end (dead end)

'Til you come back home



I tried everything to keep remembering

One good woman, one good man

Two shots of happiness in one life span

It takes a one good woman



The only thing that hurts is the memory

Of having once lived by myself

And I've tried every kind of woman

I said woman, put my love out on the shelf



Took everything and left my ears ringing

One good woman, one good man

Two shots of happiness in one life span

It takes one good woman to make a one love stand



I feel at home in a foreign land

Know what's next when there's nothing planned

Talking about love (Talking about love)

You know it takes two



She took everything and left my ears ringing

One good woman - one

Two shots of happiness - two

It takes one good woman

To make a one love stand

One good woman
