My heart is sad and I'm all alone
My man treats me mean
I regret the day that I was born
And that 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 wanna see him in his grave

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

O, a good man is hard to find
We always get roughed old kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You look and find him hangin' 'round some old gal

Then you rave, shall 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 ev'ry night
Give him plenty mash madam, treat your good man right
'Cause a good man nowadays sure is hard to find
