About The Song
“Ain’t No Woman (Like the One I’ve Got)” is a song written by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter, released as a single by the Four Tops on the ABC/Dunhill record label, from the album Keeper of the Castle. The song was originally recorded by the singing trio of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds and released on their 1972 album, Hallway Symphony.
The Four Tops’ hit version was led by longtime singer Levi Stubbs, and included special co-lead spots by the other Tops, Lawrence Payton, Renaldo “Obie” Benson and Abdul “Duke” Fakir, in that respective order during the chorus. The words tell about the love a man feels for the woman with whom he is having a relationship.
It was the Four Tops’ second single release on ABC after leaving Motown in 1972, and became their most successful post-Motown top 40 hit, reaching number four on the US Pop Singles chart. It was also another big success for the group on the US R&B Singles chart, where it peaked at number two. This was the biggest hit for The Four Tops after their departure from Motown.

Lyrics
Every day the sun comes up around herShe can make the birds sing harmonyEvery drop of rain is glad it found herHeaven must have made her just for meWhen she smiles so warm and tenderA 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 dayWouldn’t be surprised if my love keeps growin’ (it keeps growin’)Bigger every minute that she stays awayI 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 gotShe means to me a lot
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)
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
