(A good thing a good thing a good thing a good thing)

[ guitar ]

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 you gonna mess up a good thing

You 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...



(A good thing a good thing a good thing a good thing)

[ guitar ]

(A good thing a good thing)



They tell me you got a nighttime lover a livin' away cross town

And there'd gonna be but a little while baby before you cut me down

Don't be no fool...



Now don't you come sneakin' across town baby to catch me a doin' you wrong

Cause you know everybody's jealous baby cause we got a thing goin' on

Don't you be no fool...

(A good thing a good thing a good thing a good thing)
