He's A Good Lad
(David Gates)

He's a good lad
A little bit shy so you'll try and have to understand
Such a good lad
And just for a while the guy'll need a helping hand
His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way
To show you the things that he never could say;

He's a good lad
A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind
He ain't so bad
Right to the end he's a friend, about the best you can find
And as you come to know him, and his needs are comin' through
You'll flash on the day I was talkin' to you.

And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
He's a good lad

And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to
You'll see all the things I was sayin' are true

And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
He's a good lad.
