Jeff Floyd - "Somebody's Gonna Lose A Good Woman"

The voices of Jeff Floyd and William Bell blend together so well and the harmony is so awesome. Here's a man who is tired of being lonely and sitting by a phone that never rings. He says he's been working hard all day and he knows that love is going to come his way. He's not asking for too much and he knows there are some women out there who aren't being treated right. Notice that he doesn't say he wants any woman; he wants a good one. (Yoohoo, here I am!) While this beautiful ballad isn't exactly a begging song, it is simply a song from a man stating a fact - somebody is gonna to lose his good woman to him. It's kind of a warning to all you guys who aren't treating your women right - watch out, there's a good man out there who will scoop her up and be good to her!

William Bell has been around a long time and you know "I Forgot To Be Your Lover" and some of his other work. He also has his own record label, "Wilbe Records," and he's doing great things. Jeff Floyd and William Bell's voices are so good and they sound so much alike that you have to listen closely to hear who's singing. My most favorite part of this song is when William Bell sings 'oh na na na na na na.'

Lately I’ve been thinking that love has passed me by
And I’m so tired of being alone
So I thought I’d give it one last try
So many things I want to do
But I don’t want to do it alone
And I’m out here tonight looking for a good woman
To take home with me and spend the night

Somebody’s gonna lose a good woman tonight
Somebody’s gonna lose a good woman tonight

I work hard all day long and when I get home from my job
I’ve been spending my time alone sitting by the telephone
And it never rings, so I think I’ll join you tonight
Looking for a good woman to treat me right
And when I find somebody
Somebody’s gonna lose a good woman tonight
Repeat 3X

Cause it’s been too long since I held somebody in my arms
A good woman
I’ve been working hard all day but I know love’s gonna come my way
And I wanna say if there’s a woman
With a man that’s doing you wrong
Take a listen to the words while I sing this song
If he treats you bad, makes you sad
Get up, stand up and sing along
I know somebody and if you’re out there somewhere
Stand on up and let me see you
Somebody’s gotta lose
Somebody’s gonna lose a good woman tonight
If you’re out there baby and you need a good man
Stand up and sing along with me, stand up and sing
Oh na na na na na na
Repeat 5X
