Don't Mess Up a Good Thing Songtext
von Grateful Dead

You better cheat on me, oh, oh
Cheat on my lover, too
Ain′t nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna love you like I do

Well, don't you be no fool
Don′t you be no fool
If you keep messin' around now, baby
You're gonna mess up a good thing
You′re gonna mess up a good thing

I might′ve cheated just a little bit, baby
Like all the others do
Any time I get my pay
Now, I rush right home to you

Now, don't you be no fool
Well, don′t you be no fool
If you keep messin' around now, baby


(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You don't know it yet, baby
(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) Na-na, na-na-na

You tell me that you got a part-time lover
Livin' away across town
Won't be just a little while, baby
Before you put me down

Well, don′t you be no fool
Well, don′t you be no fool
If you keep messin' around now, baby
You′re gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing

I got to go runnin′ across town, baby
To catch me doin' wrong
I′m just a little bit jealous, baby
'Cause we got a thing goin' on

Well, don′t you be no fool
Well, don′t you be no fool
If you keep messin' around now, baby
You′re gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing


(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You don't know it yet, baby
(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You don't know it yet, baby
(Good thing) You don't know it yet
(Good thing) Na-na, na-na-na-na
(Good thing) Whoa-oh, hey, hey
(Good thing) Na-na, na-na-na-na
(Good thing) Na-na, na-na-na
(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You're gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You're gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You're gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You′re gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing) You're gonna mess up a good thing
