DON`T MESS UP A GOOD THING — текст песни (Ry Cooder)

(O. Sain)

Good thing, good thing, good thing
You been cheating on me, now, baby
You know I know it`s true
Ain`t nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna love you like I do
Don`t you be no fool, don`t you be no fool
Gonna keep on fooling `round now, baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
Gonna mess up a good thing, all right

Well, I might of cheated just a little bit baby
Like many others do
But when I get my little old paycheck now
It goes right back to you
Don`t you be no fool, don`t you be no fool
`Cause if you keep on fooling around now, baby
Gonna mess up a good thing, you`re going to mess up a good thing

They tell me you got a part-time lover
Who`s living way cross town
It won`t be but a little while, baby
Before you put me down
Don`t you be no fool, don`t you be no fool
Gonna keep on fooling `round now, baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
Gonna mess up a good thing, all right

Let me tell you something
Now, don`t you go sneaking across town,baby
To catch me doing wrong
Don`t you know everybody`s jealous, baby
`Cause we got a thing going on
Don`t you be no fool, don`t you be no fool
If you keep on fooling `round now baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
Gonna mess up a good thing

Good thing [You`re messing up a good thing]
Messing up a good thing
Good thing
Good thing
