He's a Good Man to Have Around

There's one thing that a woman
Can't live without
And that's a man
There's one thing keeps a woman
Always in doubt
And that's a man

I'm no exception
To the rule
I know they say
That I'm a fool
But there's one thing that I'm simply
Crazy about
And that's a man

He's not good-looking
Not handsome or tall
I couldn't tell you how
He made me fall
There's nothing to him
But still and all
He's a good man to have around

He's not a stepper
He can't even waltz
In conversation he
S-stammers and halts
Poor little sweet man!
With all his faults
He's a good man to have around

Sometimes I fly off my lid
'Go this minute!' I shout
But if he did
I would die without him

He's not exactly my idea of
The perfect lover
From heaven above
But what's the difference?
The man you love
Is a good man to have around

Sometimes when he starts a row
I don't care if I live
But he knows how
To make me forgive him
Bought a revolver
I don't mean for fun
I ought to shoot him
For the things that he's done
Can't pull the trigger
The son of a gun
He's a good man to have around
