I've got a story to tell

So listen my friend listen well

This story is told to the young and the old

Behind every good man there's a woman

Some men will try to say it's a lie

But behind every good man there's a woman

Yes behind every good man there's a woman

The woman that I have in mind

Just happens to be that wife of mine

Well she really stuck by me and made me what I am

Yes behind every good man there's a woman

Some men will try to say it's a lie

But behind every good man there's a woman

Yes behind every good man there's a woman
