Behind Every Good Man (c. 1967)

[Voiceover:] I'd like to live a respectable life, that's for sure. I'd like to live a happy life. I want to settle down. I believe everyone wants to settle down. [car noise] [Voiceover:] As far as marriage goes, I want a man that wants to go places, do things, make something of himself. You know the old saying: Behind every good man there's a woman. [ambient street noise] ["Reach Out For Me" by Dionne Warwick] [lyrics begin] When you go through a day, everything that people say, they make you feel so small. They make you feel that your heart will just never stop aching. And when you just can't accept the abuse, you are taking. Darling, reach out for me. Don't you worry. I'll see you through. You just have to, reach out for me. I'll be there and I'll comfort you. I'll... [song ends] [street noise] ["Wishin' and Hopin'" by Dusty Springfield] [Voiceover:] There was this time, I was at this gas station out in West L.A. and I went into the men's room, not because I was a man but just because I wanted to go in the men's room, period. I don't think about which room to go into, I just, I have my choice, you know. [song lyrics] … that won't get you into his arms. So if you're lookin' to find love, you can share. All you gotta do, is hold him, and kiss him, and love him and show him that you care. [song continues in background] [Voiceover:] So I was in this restroom, and like, I was brushing my hair, and this guy walks in, very good-looking, and he says, "Oh excuse Miss, I must be in the wrong room, they must have the signs mixed up." So in a very calm, masculine voice, I turned around and I said, "No, you're not in the wrong room, this is the men's room." And about this time, I noticed that he had a badge underneath his coat. And it was the police. So they took me outside and they, you know, ran the usual make on me, to see if I was wanted for anything by the law. And since I wasn't that made things groovy, so we stood there and talked awhile. And so, one of the young ones that was in the car says like, "It's too bad you're a boy, because you're a real knockout." And so I accepted it as a compliment. [song lyrics continue] Wear your hair, just for him. Oh oh, you won't get him, thinkin' and a-prayin', wishin' and a-hopin'. 'Cause wishin' and hopin', and thinkin' and prayin', plannin' and dreamin' his kisses will start, that won't get you into his heart. So if you're thinking how great, true love is, all you gotta do is hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him. Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his. You will be his. You will be his. [song ends] [street noise outside] [car door noises] ["I'll Turn to Stone" by The Supremes] [lyrics begin] If your love I couldn't call my own, I'll turn to stone. Turn to stone. I need your love in every way. It's your love I cling to, when things slip away. Taking love away, I'll be lost and alone. No reason for living, all purpose would be gone. Without you there, for my eyes to behold, my life would be empty, my heart would grow cold. If you take your love from me, I'll turn to stone. Turn to stone. If your love I couldn't call my own, I'll turn to stone. Turn to stone. When I think of love, I think of me and you. When I think of happiness, I think of us too. You're my yesterdays and all my tomorrows. You're the air I breathe, everything I need. If from my life, you were ever gone, I'd fall to pieces. You I depend on. If you take your love from me, I'll turn to stone. Turn to stone. If your love I couldn't call my own, I'll turn to stone. Turn to stone. Picture me without you, you'd see someone hurting.
