Real Good Man Lyrics - Gregory Porter

[Intro] 

Well, maybe you know why I'm here 

Your daughter and I have been dating for some time now, and you've always been real, real nice to me 

I look at your family pictures and I realize that I want the same thing too 

I almost feel like I could call you mamma and daddy 

Really that's what I'm here to talk about 

[Verse 1] 

Mama don't you worry bout your daughter 

Cause you're leaving her in real good hands 

I'm a real good man 

Now the picture of this man is slowly coming into view 

Papa don't you fret and don't forget that one day you was in my shoes 

Somehow you paid your dues 

Now you're the picture of the man that I someday want to be
