"How Do I Let A Good Man Down?" lyrics - SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS

How long do I have to wait for you honey?
Before a girl like me can move on See we've been getting on
So good so far for so long
No, you never hurt me
No, you never gone and done me wrong

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I know that something just ain't no good
But you always do exactly what you should

[Chorus 1:]
So tell me?
How do I let a good man down?
How do I let a good man dow-ah ha down?

You got to believe me
I didn't mean to find nobody else
I don't wanna hurt you
But I gotta do right by myself

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
You make me happy, but he gives me thrills
You give me comfort, but he gives me chills

[Chorus 1]

[Instrumental]

I know that it's crazy
To walk away from such a good thing
But I'm gonna gamble
And I bet that this ain't just a fling

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I can't have my cake and eat it too
So I gonna get up and walk out on you

[Chorus 2:]
Please tell me
How do I let a good man down?
How do I let a good man dow-ah ha down

[Outro:]
How, how do I let him down
I said, I
I gotta let him down
I said, I
I gotta let him down
How do I
How do I let a good man down?
How do I
How do I let a good man down?
I gotta let him down
I gotta let him down
I gotta let him down
I gotta let him down
