I swore that I was living free.

Oh, you couldn't talk to me,

And the pride that kept me, didn't want no company.

Early morning subway train,

Feeling lost and running late,

Well, he held the car, and he gave his seat to me.


I can't find nothing feels so fine as loving

A good hearted man.

He can soothe me, free me, oh I'm gonna marry

That good hearted man.


I told him that he'd better go

'Cause I was crazy and impossible,

That my love was broken, my dreams had run off wild.

But patient as the easy rain,

He never turned away,

Calling, "Hey sweet woman, you know you're not a child."


There just ain't nothing feels so fine as loving

A good hearted man.

He can soothe me, free me, oh I'm gonna marry

That good hearted man.


Good hearted man, now the night makes sense,

Because your tenderness is sheltering me.


So I'm trading in that hothead kid

For a woman I can give to him.

It ain't easy, but I'm gonna do the best I can

For that good hearted man.


There just ain't nothing feels so fine as loving

A good hearted man.

He can soothe me, free me, oh I'm gonna marry

That good hearted man.

And I'm grateful, got to say thank you

To a good hearted man.
