Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A good thing, a good thing
[Verse 2]
You been cheatin' 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're gonna keep on a foolin' around, now baby
You're gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing
[Verse 3]
Now, I mighta cheated just a little bit, baby
Like all others do
But when I get my paycheck, baby
I rush right home to you
Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You're gonna keep on foolin' around, now baby
You're gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing
[Verse 4]
A good thing, (Yeah, yeah, yeah), a good thing (Yeah, baby)
A good thing, (Whoa, oh yeah), a good thing (A come on, baby)
[Verse 5]
They tell me that you got a part-time lover
Livin' away cross town
And it ain't gonna be but a little while, baby
Before you put me down
Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You're gonna keep on a foolin' around, now baby
You're gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing
[Verse 6]
Now don't you come sneakin' across town, baby
To catch me doin' wrong
Cause you know everybody's jealous, baby
Cause we got a thing goin' on
Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You're gonna keep on a foolin' around, now baby
You're gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing
[Verse 7]
A good thing, (Yeah, yeah, yeah), a good thing (Yeah, baby)
A good thing, (Whoa, oh yeah), a good thing (Now come on, baby)
A good thing, (Yeah, yeah, yeah), a good thing (Yeah, baby)
A good thing, a good thing
