Don't Mess Up a Good Thing

(Oliver Sain)



(Good thing, good thing, good thing, good thing.)



--- Instrumental ---



Well, you been cheatin' on me

Big day you know I know it's true

But there ain't nobody in the whole wide world

Could love you like I do.



Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

You gonna keep on foolin' around

Now baby your gonna mess up a good thing

Your gonna mess up a good thing.



Now I might have been cheated

Just a little bit baby like all the others do

Oh, but when I get my paycheck

Mama, I bring it on home to you.



Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

You gonna keep on foolin' around

Now baby your gonna mess up a good thing

Your gonna mess up a good thing.



(Good thing, good thing, good thing, good thing)

They tell me you got a nighttime lover

A livin' away cross town

And there's gonna be, but a little while

Baby, before you cut me down.



Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

You gonna keep on foolin' around

Now baby your gonna mess up a good thing

Your gonna mess up a good thing.



Now, don't you come sneakin' across town

Baby, to catch me a doin' you wrong

'Cause you know everybody's jealous

Baby, we got a thing goin' on.



Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

You gonna keep on foolin' around

Now baby your gonna mess up a good thing

Your gonna mess up a good thing.



(Good thing, good thing, good thing, good thing)...
