Don’t Mess Up a Good Thing Songtext
von Joe Louis Walker

Right now everybody I wanna bring up a very, very special guest of mine
Very good friend
Make a welcome Ms Angela Strehli

A good thing
A good thing

You′ve been cheating on me, now
You know I know it's true
I bet that ain′t nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna love you like I do

So don't you be no fool, don't you be no fool
You gonna keep on fooling ′round now, baby
You gonna mess up a good thing
You gonna mess up a good thing

Now, I might′ve cheated just a little bit baby
Like most lovers do
But when I get my paycheck honey
I bring it on home to you


Don't you be no fool, don′t you be no fool
You gonna keep on fooling around now woman
Gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing

A good thing
A good thing
A good thing
A good thing

Tell me that you got a part-time lover
Living way across town
And it ain′t gonna be but a little while, baby
Before you can put me down

But don't you be no fool, don′t you be no fool
You gonna keep on fooling around, you're fooling
You gonna mess up a good thing
You gonna mess up a good thing

Now, don't you go sneaking across town, baby
To catch me doing wrong
Everybody′s kind of jealous, honey
′Cause we got a thing going on


Don't you be no fool, don′t you be no fool, no woman
You're gonna keep on fooling around
You gonna mess up a good thing
You gonna mess up a good thing

Good thing
A good thing
A good thing
A good thing

A good thing
A good thing
A good thing (don′t mess it up)
A good thing (that's what I′ve got)
A good thing
A good thing (that what you need)
A good thing (come on, baby)

A good thing (come on, baby)
A good thing (don't you know I love you?)
A good thing (whoa, whoa)
Good thing (yeah, yeah)
A good thing
A good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good thing

Thank you
