  • Yeah, yeah (ooo)
    Uh, hey hey
    All right, yeah

    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    Gotta say it again now
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    He's a mighty mighty good man
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    Yes he is
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man

    I want to take a minute or two, and give much respect due
    To the man that's made a difference in my world
    And although most men are ho's, he flows on the down low
    'Cause I never heard about him with another girl
    But I don't sweat it because it's just pathetic
    To let it get me involved in that he said she said crowd
    I know that ain't nobody perfect
    I give props to those who deserve it
    And believe me y'all, he's worth it
    So here's to the future 'cause we got through the past
    I finally found someone that can make me laugh
    You so crazy, I think I want to have your baby

    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    Yes he is
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    He's a mighty mighty good man
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    Gotta say it again now
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man

    My man is smooth like Barry, and his voice got bass
    A body like Arnold with a Denzel face
    He's smart like a doctor with a real good rep
    And when he comes home he's relaxed with Pep
    He always got a gift for me every time I see him
    A lot of snot-nosed ex-flames couldn't be him
    He never ran a corny line once to me yet
    So I give him stuff that he'll never forget
    He keeps me on Cloud Nine just like the Temps
    He's not a fake wannabe tryin' to be a pimp
    He dresses like a dapper don, but even in jeans
    He's a God sent original, the man of my dreams

    Yes, my man says he loves me, never says he loves me not
    Tryin' to rush me good and touch me in the right spot
    See other guys that I've had, they tried to play all that mac shit
    But every time they tried I said, "That's not it"
    But not this man, he's got the right potion
    Baby, rub it down and make it smooth like lotion
    Yeah, the ritual highway to heaven
    From seven to seven he's got me open like Seven Eleven
    And yes, it's me that he's always choosin'
    With him I'm never losin', and he knows that my name is not Susan
    He always has heavy conversation for the mind
    Which means a lot to me 'cause good men are hard to find

    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    He's a mighty mighty good man
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    Say it again y'all
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    I said what a mighty good man
    He's a mighty mighty good man

    My man gives real loving that's why I call him Killer
    He's not a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, he's a thriller
    He takes his time and does everything right
    Knocks me out with one shot for the rest of the night
    He's a real smooth brother, never in a rush
    And he gives me goose pimples with every single touch
    Spends quality time with his kids when he can
    Secure in his manhood 'cause he's a real man
    A lover and a fighter and he'll knock a nucca out
    Don't take him for a sucker 'cause that's what he's about
    Every time I need him, he always got my back
    Never disrespectful 'cause his mama taught him that

    I got a good man
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    A mighty mighty good man
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    Yes he is
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    What a mighty good man
    What a man, what a man, what a man,
    What a mighty good man
    He's a mighty mighty good man
    What a mighty mighty good man
    What a mighty good man Writer/s: Cheryl James, David Crawford, Herby Azor

  • Camille from Toronto, OhBringing these two girl groups together was a match made in music heaven. I love that the song won the MTV Music Award for Best Choreography, because that is what took both the song and the video over the top to the next level and the reason you never tire of watching it. Too many fabulous songs drop the ball with a mediocre video; this one well done.
