Downright Uptight Good Woman Songtext
von Dan Penn

I want a good woman
A good woman
She don′t have to have a pretty face
Just two lovin' arms to keep me safe
A woman with a heart pure as gold
A little woman with a whole lot of soul

Now, I want a good woman
A downright, uptight, good woman
Or no woman at all

And I need a faithful woman
Lord, I′m tellin' you now, I want a patient woman
I ain't lookin′ for no used property
′Cause second-best won't satisfy me
A good little woman to stand by my side
A good woman with courage and pride


I want a good woman
A downright, uptight, good woman
Or no woman at all

Now, you fellas know what I′m talkin' about
(Yeah, I know what you′re talkin' about)
(You′re talkin' about someone to come home to)
Yeah, and you talkin' about after a hard day on the job
A little woman standin′ in the doorway
And with her arms open wide
(Talkin′ about a little woman standin' in the doorway)
(With a big, wide smile)


Talkin′ about a good woman
A mighty, mighty good woman
I don't care if she′s short or tall
(I tell ya, I don't care)
Anyway my requirements are so small
Just as long as she′s a good woman (Mm-mm)
Got to, got to be a good woman
I don't care if she's short or tall
Lord, just as long as I know she love me
(Got to be a, got to be a, got to be a) Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
