A good thing, a good thing
You been cheating on me now
You know i know it's true
But ain't nobody in
The whole wide world
Gonna love you like i do
Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You gonna keep on
Fooling around now, baby
You're gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing
Now i might've cheated
Just a little bit, baby
Like all others do
But when i get my paycheck, baby
I rush right home to you
A good thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
A good thing, yeah, baby
A good thing, oh, yeah
A good thing, come on, baby
You 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 put me down
Now don't you come
Sneaking across town, baby
To catch me doing wrong
Cause you know
Everybody's jealous, baby
Cause we got a thing going on
A good thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
A good thing, yeah, baby
A good thing, oh, yeah
A good thing, come on, baby
A good thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
A good thing, yeah, baby
A good thing, good thing
