  • (Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
    (Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
    (Ain't no woman like the one I've got)

    Every day the sun comes up around her
    She can make the birds sing harmony
    Every drop of rain is glad it found her
    Heaven must have made her just for me
    When she smiles so warm and tender
    A sight for sore eyes to see

    Ooh (ain't no woman like the one I've got)
    Oh, no, they don't come better
    (To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
    She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
    (So together, like a hand in glove)
    Like pages in a letter
    (Ain't no woman like the one I love)

    She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin')
    Put a little music in my day
    Wouldn't be surprised if my love keeps growin' (it keeps growin')
    Bigger every minute that she stays away
    I would kiss the ground she walks on
    'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now

    Woo-ooh (ain't no woman like the one I've got)
    Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
    (To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
    She's a real good friend right to the end
    (So together like a hand in glove)
    A lonely man when she's gone
    (People, ain't no woman like the one I love)

    Ooh, what a good, good thing I've got
    She means to me a lot

    (Ain't no woman like the I've got)
    No, no, they don't come better
    (To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
    She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
    (So together, like a hand in glove)
    Like pages in a letter
    (Ain't no woman like the one I love, people)

    (Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
    Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
    (To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
    I'm a lonely man when my baby's gone Writer/s: Brian Potter, Dennis Earle Lambert

  • Joe from White Plains, NyLevi and the guys didn't win any friends in the women's movement of the time, professing his love because "It's my word, my word she'll obey."

  • Camille from Toronto, OhI love The Fifth Dimension. I love Friends of Distinction. I don't think they have the same sound. I wish Songfacts would put up some songs by F of D because their few hits songs totally rock and stand the test of time.
  • Clubber Lange from Ocean Gate, Nj"Ill Turn to Stone" is their best hit, it should be on here...
  • John from Nashville, TnThis song was first released as a single in 1972 by Friends of Distinction. This Fifth Dimension knockoff group had a few hit in the late 60s and early seventies ("Grazin' In The Grass", "Going In Circles" and "Love Or Let Me Be Lonely").
  • Kristin from Bessemer, AlEven though this tune was a big hit for the Four Tops after leaving Motown, they also scored another top 10 hit with "Keeper of The Castle" in late 1972.
