Don’t Mess Up a Good Thing Songtext
von Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty

Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn

(Good thing, good thing, good thing, good thing)

--- Instrumental ---

Well, you been cheatin′ on me, big day
You know I know it's true
But there ain′t nobody in the whole wide world
Could love you like I do.

Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)
Don′t be no fool (don′t you be no fool)
You gonna keep on foolin' around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing.
You gonna mess up a good thing.

Now, I might have been cheated just a little bit, baby
Like all the others do
Oh, but when I get my paycheck, mama
I bring it on home to you.


Don′t be no fool (don't you be no fool)
Don′t be no fool (don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on foolin′ around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing.
You gonna mess up a good thing.

(Good thing, good thing, good thing, good thing)

--- Instrumental ---

They tell me you got a nighttime lover
A livin' away cross town
And there'd gonna be but a little while, baby
Before you cut me down.

Don′t be no fool (don′t you be no fool)
Don't be no fool (don′t you be no fool)
You gonna keep on foolin' around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing.
You gonna mess up a good thing.

Now don′t you come sneakin' across town, baby
To catch me a doin′ you wrong
'Cause you know everybody's jealous, baby
We got a thing goin′ on.


Don′t be no fool (don't you be no fool)
Don′t be no fool (don't you be no fool)
You gonna keep on foolin′ around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing.
You gonna mess up a good thing.

(Good thing, good thing, good thing, good thing)...
