(R. Cooder / R. t**leman)
Whenever you find a man
Who loves every woman he sees
There's always some kind of woman
That's puttin' him up a tree.
Now that kind of man he 'aint got
As much sense as a mule
You know everyone can love it
Just playin' you for a fool.
Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can.
If you marry the wrong kinda woman
And you get where you can't agree
Just d*** well forget yourself
And let that woman be.
A man ought to be a good husband
Quit tryin' to lead a fast life
Goin' about dressin' up other women
Won't put clothes on his own wife.
Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can.
Well there's a lot's of good women wanna marry
They wanna live well at home
Afraid they might get hold of a rowdy man
Who can't let other women alone.
Well there's a lot's of good men who wanna marry
They wanna live well at home
But everytime they turn around there's a man there
Sayin' "Darlin' is he gone?"
Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can.
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can...
