What a man needs
Is someone who understands him
And can tell when things ain't going too well
Compassion and kindness he'll know so well
When he's found it
He'll want to build his world around it
With his strength and his courage all in abundance
But he's fearful—for his whole world could crumble
If they take away his good thing
It'll make him want to hide away
Don't take away his good thing
He'll be lost in his soul in a world that's so cold
Without the good thing that he's found
When he's found it
He won't wander round like he once did
For he's already made up his mind
But still there's just one thing unkind
He's bound to get jealous from time to time
He's gonna look over his shoulder sometimes
For it's her love that he depends on
Without which he'd be so lost
Don't take away his good thing
It'll make him want to hide away
Don't take away his good thing
He'll be lost in his soul in a world that's so cold
Without the good thing that he's found
Don't take away his good thing
It'll make him want to hide away
Don't take away his good thing
He'll be lost in his soul in a world that's so cold
Without the good thing
That he's found
Yeah
Ah!
Whoa
Ooh, yeah
Without the good thing, without
Don't take away his good thing
It'll make him want to hide away
I don't wanna leave you baby
Don't take away his good thing
Said, I'd risk it all
And I'm ready to lay it on the line now!
