Am I a Good Man - Them Two

You know when you have that special someone you'd do anything for and they go off and take it all for granted? Ya. You know. 

This song is originally by Them Two and was surreptitiously introduced to me by Band of Horses who I saw perform it at La Tulipe last fall. Their cover is surprisingly soulful and was a highlight of that show. 

A special thanks to Nic for reminding me what the song was and for sending me over the file. 



Am I a good man?
Am I a fool?
Am I weak? 
Or am I just playin' it cool?

I have a woman and I know she's no good
but still I keep my head up high 
and try to do the things that a good man should

Am I a good man? (am i a good man?)
Am I a fool? (am i a fool?)
Am I weak? (no) somebody tell me
I play it cool

She has made my whole life a mess
but still I work day and night for her 
so she can always have the best 

Am I a good man? (am i a good man?)
Am I a fool? (am i a fool?)
Am I weak? (no) somebody tell me 
Or am I just playin' it cool?

You know what - the best of her love she gives to someone else
But still before I hurt the little girl
I'd rather hurt myself 

Does that make me a good man?
Am I a good man? Am I a good man?
Am I a good man? somebody tell me 
Am I a good man?

She's made (she's made) my whole life a mess 
but still I work day and night for her 
so she can always have the best 

Am I a good man? Am I a good man?
Am I a fool? Am I a fool?
Am I weak? Somebody tell me
Am I just playin' it cool

You know I love her and I need her, 
even though she do me so wrong 
Am I just too blind to see?
Maybe I been in love too long

Hey, hey am I a good man? Am I a fool...
