I Let a Good Girl Go Songtext
von Syl Johnson

I let a good girl go
I let a good girl go

She was good to me
But I hurt her constantly
I pushed her right out of my life
But now, now I′m paying the price

For letting a good girl go
I let a good girl go

She was on my side
Always standing by
But like a fool I ran her away
Lord, that was my biggest mistake

I let a good girl go
I let a good girl go
I let a good girl go
I let a good girl go


I never really told her
How much I cared
'Cause I didn′t realize
That girl was so rare
But now she's gone
There ain't nothing I can do, ya′ll
But say to myself
"Boy, you′ve been a fool"
Been a fool, boy, yes

She was good to me (good to me)
I hurt her constantly
I pushed her right out of my life (out of my life)
Now, now I'm paying the price

For letting a good girl go
I let a good girl go, yeah
I let a good girl go, oh
I let a good girl go, yeah

Never disregard her
Gonna wail, long cries
Woo, oh babe
(I let a good girl go) yeah
(I let a good girl go) oh, gone away, yeah
(I let a good girl go) babe, come back home girl
(I let a good girl go) sorry, sorry
(I let a good girl go) oh, I been wrong, oh
Been oh, been oh, been oh, been, been wrong (I let a good girl go)
(I let a good girl go...)
