I was looking for a new direction
you gotta keep moving for you're own protection
haven't got no love to stay in love (well well, ohhh)

you turn the tables on my whole world baby
you take away all the heartache that love gave me
cant you see what you've done in my life
and let that pure connection change my whole perception

you're the fuel in my fire,
my fever runs high
got me scared of desire
its a good thing

when we come together
you can stop this good thing
no you can put it out
when we come together
to try and stop this good thing
and it will burn you out

I'm kinda warming to this new sensation
cos everyday is like a revelation
just show me something like (I never knew about me)

my thoughts cant lead me into no temptation
cos baby you'll give me everything ill ever need
for you will make a fool out of me
ill just have to take it I will never have to fake it

there's a fuel in my fire
my fever burns high
when I'm scared of desire
its a good thing

when we come together
you can stop this good thing
no you can put it out
when we come together
to try and stop this good thing
and it will burn you out

girl you got me burning up, got me burning burning up.
and I don't know how to stop got me burning,burning up.
girl you got me burning up, got me burning burning up.
and I don't know how to stop burning up, burning up
girl you got me burning up, got me burning burning up.
and I don't know how to stop got me burning,burning up.
girl you got me burning up, got me burning burning up.
and I don't know how to stop burning up, burning up

there's a fuel in my fire
and its taking us high
I'm not scared of desire
its a good thing

when we come together
you can stop this good thing
no you can put it out
when we come together
to try and stop this good thing
and it will burn you out
when we come together
you can stop this good thing
no you can put it out
when we come together
to try and stop this good thing
and it will burn you down

My baby came home late last night
I said girl I gotta talk to you
I've been drinkin' with the man next door
He said he's been singin' with you
Whoever's tellin' lies it's time to say bye-bye
You know my mama didn't raise no fool

(chorus)
You're gonna walk out that door you'll never see me anymore
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna love ya' just one more time
I'd love to see what you've got
I don't care if it takes all night
Gonna make you remember for the rest of your life oh baby
We had a good thing a good thing goin'
But ain't been seein' eye to eye
You had a good thing but it's all over
Might as well wave and say goodbye

It's easy to see the guilt in your eyes
Girl I want you to tell me the truth
Was he worth the risk and all the trouble he's caused
Now it comes down to me and you
You thought I was blind when you were gone all the time
Playin' me for a fool

(repeat chorus)

We had a good thing goin' baby but it's all over

Good thing, good thing goin'.......

Well it's a good thing I kissed you when I did
I like the sexy way your fingers slid
And anything done became undid
Wait a minute honey I think we should video

No no no got to give it to me
No no no coz' I need it you see

It's a good thing
Talking about a good thing, yeah
It's a good thing
Nothing but a good thing, yeah

It's a good thing you called me when you did
The pressure building up upon my lid
And on to your back I watched you slid
Gotta tell you honey I wish they were all like you

No no no got to give it to me
No no no coz' I need it you see

(chorus)

Well it's a good thing I kissed you when I did
I like the sexy way your fingers slid
And anything done became undid
Wait a minute honey I think we should video

No no no got to give it to me
No no no coz' I need it you see

(chorus)

Could it be magic?
Could it be a fantasy?
Maybe I'm dreaming
'Cause it sure seems to get to me
You say that you want me
Say there'll be no-one else
Make me no promises
'Cause we both know only time will tell

Is this real or just a moment in time?
We got such a good thing
Aint nothing coming close to this high
Does it get any better in this life?
We got such a good thing
Our bodies just melt into one
When we're loving each other it feels so right

Got such a good thing
(Good thing)
Got such a good thing
(Good thing)

From the beginning it's like I could read your mind
I knew what you were thinking
When I looked into your eyes
You give me that feeling
That's keeping me warm inside
Now I'll be happy to stay by your side
'Cause we got something that is so hard to find

We got such a good thing
(Good thing)
Ain't nothing coming close to this high
Does it get any better in this life?
We got such a good thing
Our bodies just melt into one
When we're loving each other it feels so right

Got such a good thing
(Good thing)
Got such a good thing
(Good thing)

Oh baby
Come with me
All the signs say it was meant to be
Sometimes love is such a mystery
(Love is such a mystery)
But it seems so clear to me

Got such a good thing
(Good thing)
Got such a good thing
(Got such a good thing)
(Good thing)

I've got such a good thing

We got such a good thing
Aint nothing coming close to this high
Does it get any better in this life?
(Got such a good thing)
We got such a good thing
Our bodies just melt into one
When we're loving each other it feels so right

Got such a good thing

We got such a good thing
Aint nothing coming close to this high
Does it get any better in this life?
(Got such a good thing)
We got such a good thing
Our bodies just melt into one
When we're loving each other it feels so right

Got a good thing

The one good thing in my life
Has gone away I don't know why
She's gone away I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her

The one good thing didn't stay too long
My back was turned and she was gone

Good thing where have you gone
My good thing you've been gone too long

People say I should forget
There's plenty more don't get upset
People say she's doin' fine
Mutual friends I see sometime

That's not what I want to hear
I want to hear she wants me near

Good thing where have you gone
My good thing you've been gone too long
Good thing

(piano solo)

Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn't ask
Morning came into my room
Caught me dreaming like a fool

Good thing, yea yea yea my good thing
My my my good thing, where have you gone
My good thing mm hmm my good thing
Good thing girl, where have you gone
It's been so long, good God girl
Good God girl, good God girl.

The one good thing
In my life

Somewhere I cant follow her

I never felt too good but in this world who would
I was always thinkin? somethin? wasn't right
But then you came along and helped me sing a song and
now I feel ok I hope it can stay- this way

You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about-
there goes the heartbreak that I can live without
I've been so frustrated, bitter, mean, and jaded
I've taken for granted all the things I've got
But now that you are here this anger disappears
and I feel happy too this is sappy but it's true

You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about there goes the heartbreak
that I can live without

Robben Ford 1995 Handful Of Blues (Blue Thumb 7004)

You cover your senses
You cover your eyes
You cover your feelings
You tell your self lies
It's not a good thing
to do to yourself

Your looking so lonely
Your looking too thin
I can see your depression,
see it settin in
It's not a good thing
to do to yourself

I took a walk to the river,
I watched the ships roll in
and I thought of you driftin' like you do
Nobody's gonna save you from that life you lead
but some body's waiting

So open your heart babe,
open your mind
and open your soul, yeah
Leave the past behind,
it'd be a good thing
to do for yourself

I took a walk to the mountain
I watched the birds fly high
and I thought of you locked inside yourself
Nobody's gonna free you from that cage your in
but some body's waiting
