Don’t Mess Up A Good Thing

[Intro]
Good thing
Good thing

[Verse 1: Fontella Bass]
You been cheating on me
You know my love is true
But ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna love you like I do

[Chorus: Fontella Bass]
Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You're gonna keep on foolin' around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing
You gonna mess up a good thing

[Verse 2: Bobby McClure]
Now I might have cheated just a little bit baby
Like all of us do
But when I get my paycheck baby
I rush right home to you

[Chorus: : Bobby McClure]
Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You're gonna keep on foolin' around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing
You gonna mess up a good thing

[Post-Chorus]
(A good thing) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(A good thing) Yeah baby
(A good thing) Oh yeah
(A good thing) Come on baby

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3: Fontella Bass]
They tell me that you got a part-time lover
Living away across town
And it ain't gonna be but a little while baby
Before you're puttin' me down

[Chorus: Fontella Bass]
Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You're gonna keep on foolin' around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing
You gonna mess up a good thing

[Verse 4: Bobby McClure]
Now don't you come sneakin' across town baby
To catch me doing wrong
'Cause you know everybody's jealous baby
'Cause we got a thang goin' on

[Chorus: : Bobby McClure]
Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
You're gonna keep on foolin' around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing
You gonna mess up a good thing

[Outro]
(A good thing)
Yeah yeah yeah
(A good thing)
Yeah baby
(A good thing)
Oh yeah
(A good thing)
No no baby
(A good thing)
Yeah yeah yeah
