It's a Good Thing Songtext
von Steve Young

I′ve got a little green book that I scribble in
It's full of words and notes about feelings
I only write songs, yeah, to shake those demons down
But lately they just haven′t been around

Maybe there's a lock in at the local bar
Or they're sick of my whining ′bout heartache and life
I′ve got another sneaky feeling
They've plain been sent away
By an angel that I recently met
By an angel that I recently met

It′s a good thing trust me baby it's a good thing
I only write sad songs and that just ain′t you
It's a good thing trust me baby it′s a good thing
I don't need to write a love song to tell you
That I want you


Oh I regret that you don't have a sonnet
I′ve got no troubles on my mind, no devils doing time
My little green book′s looking empty these days
So I've written you a song called it Piccolo Sole
And I hope... that that′s ok?

It's a good thing trust me baby it′s a good thing
I only write sad songs and that just ain't you
It′s a good thing trust me baby it's a good thing
I don't need to write a love song to tell you
That I want you

It′s a good thing trust me baby it′s a good thing
I only write sad songs and that just ain't you
It′s a good thing trust me baby it's a good thing
I don′t need to write a love song to tell you no

It's a good thing trust me baby it′s a good thing
I only write sad songs and that just ain't you
It's a good thing trust me baby it′s a good thing
I don′t need to write a love song to tell you no
I don't need to write a love song to tell you no
I don′t need to write a love song to tell you
That I love you
