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'd see sometime

That's not what

I... want to hear

I wanna hear

she wants me near

Good thing

where have you gone

my good thing

you've been gone too long

good thing!

Then one day

she came back

I was so happy

that I didn't act

Mornin' came

into my room

caught me dreamin'

like a fool

Good thing

my, my, my, my good thing

my, my, my, my good thing

where have you gone

My good thing

hmm-hmm, my good thing

my good thing

where have you gone

It's been so long

good God, girl

good God, girl

good God, girl

good thing

Good God, girl

good God, girl

good God, girl

good thing!
