Standing in the Way of a Good Thing Songtext
von Dan Penn

Aw, blues

You′re standin' in the way of a good thing, girl
Tearin′ apart my little corner of the world
We could have a love no one ever saw
Darlin', darlin', there′s just one little flaw

Yeah, you′re standin' in the way of a good thing, girl
Right in the middle of a good thing, girl, alright

Darlin′ there's a wall between me and you
Some man hurt you, and you′re scared I will too
But your eyes reveal what your heart does feel
You got to realize that my love is real

And stop standin' in the way of a good thing, girl
You′re standin' in the way of a good thing, girl


Let's boogie now

Now, every time I want to hear them sweet things you say
You say, "I′m sorry, daddy; come back another day"
We could have a love that could be, oh, so fine
If only, darlin′, darlin', you would change your mind

Do move over my way
Come on over, over my way

′Cause you're standin′ in the way of a good thing, girl
Right in the way of a good thing, girl, alright

Call you on your heart some day (Alright)
If you don't come back to love me (Alright)
I′m gonna do a see-ya-home quick
Alright
Yes, sir
