Good Man Lyrics

You could catch me in the Gentlemen's club
Substituting lap dance just for love, love
I'm goin' home to an empty house
Thinkin' who should I call for some fun, hey

I never knew love until you, love
Never thought that I'd fall in love
Till you brought out of me
The man I always knew I could be, baby

I can count the lovers that I've had
And all of those relationships gone bad
I wanna thank you for guiding me
And showing me love

I was just a boy and not a man
Falling deep in love was not the plan
Baby, because of you and what you do
You made me a good man, oh, baby

Used to change my numbers every other week
Gettin' crazy crank calls from them freaks
I be in V.I.PM with a bottle of somethin'
Tryin' hard to for share on some?

'Cause I-I never knew love until you, love
You showed me a true love
You gave me a chance
Now I understand how to be a good man, oh, yes

I can count the lovers that I've had (I've had)

All of those relationships gone bad (Relationships)
I wanna thank you for guiding me
And showing me the hope (The hope, yes)

I was just a boy and not a man (Not a man, no)
Falling deep in love was not the plan
Baby, because of you (You, you, you) and what you do
You made me a good man

Thank you for lovin' me
Where is the love that you promised to love and
When was the love that we share, where is your love,
oh, yeah
But if it aches you, my love's for nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
(Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...)

I can count the lovers that I've had (Baby, baby)
All of those relationships gone bad
I wanna thank you for guiding me
And showing me the hope

I was just a boy and not a man
Falling deep in love was not the plan
Baby, because of you and what you do
You made me a good man, oh, baby

It's all because of
you-you-you-you-you-you-you-you-you

RL

Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar (born on April 2, 1977 in Minneapolis, MN) is an African-American R&B singer and songwriter most noted for being the frontman for the R&B group Next.

RL first distinguished himself outside of Next with his duet with Deborah Cox on the song "We Can't Be Friends" as well as other feature projects. RL followed up that effort with "Best Man" the super-group track from the The Best Man (1999) soundtrack which also featured Ginuwine, Tyrese & Case. By the time RL's Rev. Greenish-styled "Good Love" (The Brothers soundtrack) and his hook to 'Pac's "Until the End of Time" were released, it was clear that he had created and artistic persona distinct and separate from Next. RL: Ements is RL's debut solo project for Clive Davis' still burgeoning J Records label; the lead single "Got Me A Model".

While on hiatus with Next in 2002, R.L. began work on his solo career. His first release was the single entitled "Good Love" from the Brothers original soundtrack. The song was a departure from Next's overly sexual image and surprised many longtime fans. R.L. than collaborated with rappers Snoop Dogg and Lil' Kim on the Dr. Dolittle 2 soundtrack with the song "Do You Wanna Roll". Next also appeared on the CD with the song entitled "Looking For Love" featuring rapper Lil' Zane (who appeared in the movie). It was rumoured that "Do You Wanna Roll" would be released as a video and a vinyl single was released, however the video never saw the light of day.

It was then that R.L. began work on his solo album, RL: Ements, without the knowledge of his bandmates (according to member Tweet on his song "Keepin' It Real"). The song "Ghetto" leaked on the internet featuring Jermaine Dupri, however it was re-recorded and eventually featured the rapper Postaboy. Around the same time, a song entitled "Model Chick" leaked, believed to be the first single. The song was eventually scrapped and completely re-worked into the albums official first single "Got Me A Model" featuring Eric Sermon. A remix to the song was also recorded and featured producer Jermaine Dupri.

The album was released in April of 2002 and unfortunately did not sell as well as expected. A second single and video was released entitled "Good Man". This was the first album released by a member of Next without the direction from longtime collaborator Kaygee. Read more on Last.fm.
