About One Good Woman

"One Good Woman" is a popular song from 1988 by Peter Cetera, formerly the lead singer of the rock band Chicago. Cetera co-wrote and co-produced the track with Patrick Leonard, and the song was included on Cetera's 1988 album One More Story. The song was originally to be included in the Tom Hanks film Big, but Cetera withdrew "One Good Woman" from consideration because 20th Century Fox had proposed too many changes. Instead, it became the lead single from his One More Story album and reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in October 1988. It also spent four weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart.

I am so in love with you
I just can't deny it
Everybody knows I can't deny it
Everybody knows

You can read me like a book
Just like a fortune teller
Everybody needs a fortune teller
Telling you the very truth

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me a love that's taking me higher
It just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You bring out the best in me
With love and understanding
Anytime I need some understanding
You are always there

And if I ever lose my way
You're always there to guide me
Anyone can see you're here inside me
Anyone can see it

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me a love that's taking me higher
It just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You fill me with hope
With love and devotion
You taught me how to show my emotion
It just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

This is our time, we have it all
We have a way of knowing if we're heading for a fall
We'll work it out and get it right
And when I get home to you
You're such a sight for my poor eyes

This is our time, we have it all
When I come home at night
You're such a sight for my poor eyes

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me a love that's taking me higher
It just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You fill me with hope
With love and devotion
You taught me how to show my emotion
It just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me a love that's taking me higher
It just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You fill me with hope
With love and devotion
You taught me how to show my emotion
It just goes to prove
What one good woman can do
