    DON'T MESS UP A GOOD THING

    by: 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
