The Good Thing Lyrics

The Good Thing lyrics

THE GOOD THING     Fine Young Cannibals

{ 4 phrase }



The one good thing in my life

Has gone away and I don't want to know why

She's gone away

I don't know where

Somewhere I can't follow her



The one good thing is taking too long

                    ( Hey hey hey       ooh ooh-ooh ooh... )

My back was turned and she was gone

                    ( Hey hey hey )



(( Good thing )), where have you gone

                                        ( Goo goobie doo )

(( My good thing )), you've been gone too long    ( Good thing )

( Goo goo goobie doo )



People say I should fall dead

New friend tomorrow, don't get upset

People say she's doing fine

Look at your friend and see her sometime



That's not or why I'm after what I want to hear

                    ( Hey hey hey       ooh ooh-ooh ooh... )     

I want to hear, she wants me near

               ( Hey hey hey )



(( Good thing )), where have you gone   ( Goo goobie doo )

(( My good thing )), you've been gone too ong ( Good thing )

( Goo goo doobie doo     Good thing )



{ piano solo }



Then one day she came back

I was so happy that I didn't act

Morning came into my room

               ( Hey hey hey       ooh ooh-ooh ooh... )

God I've been dreaming like a fool

                    ( Hey hey hey )     



(( Good thing )), my my my good thing ( goo goobie goo ) 

My my my (( good thing )), where have you gone ( good thing )

( Goo goo goobie doo )

My (( good thing )), hee hee my good thing ( goo goobie doo )

My (( good thing )) girl, where have you gone ( good thing )

( Goo goo goobie doo good thing )

It's been so long, good God girl ( goo goobie doo good thing )

Good God girl, good God girl ( good thing )

( Goo goo goobie doo good thing )
