"Uptight Good Woman" lyrics
"Uptight Good Woman"
(originally by Dan Penn)
I want a good, ooh, a good woman
Talking about a real good, a mighty mighty good woman
Now, she don't have to have a lot of pretty clothes and a pretty face
Just two loving arms to keep me warm and safe
A little woman, oh, with a whole lot of courage and pride
And when I need somebody
The woman that will be standing right by my side
I want a good woman
A woman to be down right, up tight, good woman
Or no woman at all
Well all of you out there, just lend me your ear
I know many of you folks know that kind of woman I'm talking about
The kind that we men can go away and don't have to worry about
The kind you can call on the telephone 3-4-5 o'clock in the morning
And she'll say "Daddy, where are you? Come on home, I love you, I miss you"
The kind of woman that's always willing to understand, always willing to lend a helping hand
I'm talking 'bout a good, true, honest and loving woman
A woman to be down right, up tight, good woman woman woman
Or no woman at all
No woman at all

With you on my mind
All I do is run around crying

The night has wealth untold
Just keep watching and you soon will see

I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growin' strong

Reachin' out,...
