good  man  -  paul  gilbert

that's  the  phone  that  i  had  when  you  were  mine

in  those  days  it  was  ringing  all  the  time

calling  you  so  i  knew  you  were  fine

and  a  good  man  i  felt  that  i  could  be

i  was  strong,  full  of  hope  and  dignity

but  the  break,  that  mistake  came  from  me

i  know  you,  you  know  me

why  we  aren't  together  is  a  mystery

that  only  we  know,  we  know

all  i  want  to  do  is  be  together  with  you  and  let  you  know

i'll  be  a  good  man

all  i  want  to  do  is  be  together  with  you  and  never  go

i'll  be  a  good  man

every  night  i  can  see  you  in  my  dreams

but  my  days  are  so  empty  and  it  seems

being  wrong  takes  so  long  to  remedy

and  i've  tried  taking  everyone's  advice

just  move  on,  get  back  in  and  roll  the  dice

but  the  song  i  sing  in  my  head  is  "wouldn't  it  be  nice"

i  know  you,  you  know  me

why  we  aren't  together  is  a  mystery

that  only  we  know,  we  know

all  i  want  to  do  is  be  together  with  you  and  let  you  know

i'll  be  a  good  man

all  i  want  to  do  is  be  together  with  you  and  never  go

and  i've  tried  taking  everyone's  advice

just  move  on,  get  back  in  and  roll  the  dice

but  the  song  i  sing  in  my  head  is  "wouldn't  it  be  nice"

i  know  you,  you  know  me

why  we  aren't  together  is  a  mystery
