Lyrics
My sister she once told me don't be lonely Find yourself a good man
Find yourself a hand to hold And don't let go
So I found the one I wanted pretty boy but his heart was haunted
Like a wishing well to a rolling river Through the gates of hell
CHORUS:
What kind of man would drop
A woman from the highest mountaintop
What kind of man would leave you
Drowning in the cold blue sea
What kind of man would keep you
Crying in the middle of the night
My kind of man (what kind of man) My kind of man
My daddy told me When I was young
You can go out all night and have your fun
If you choose the same life that I did
You won't lose but you'll never win
CHORUS
BRIDGE
My momma she told me Stand up tall
Girl, you might be lonely but you can have it all
So I did the best that I could do
Never realizing the best was you
CHORUS
