Good Thing Lyrics by The James Taylor Quartet

In the Hand of the Inevitable

0

[Chorus]
Never, ever wanna let you leave me (Never, no, no, no)
Never, ever wanna say goodbye (To say goodbye)
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
Never break my heart and make me cry (Don't make me cry)

[Verse 1]
When I fell in love with you
Let myself fall too deep
I let myself fall too far
I'm trying to keep some part of me
My happiness is a consequence
Of having you in my life
Oh, you know I'm stuck on you
'Cause your loving is so true

[Chorus]
Never, ever wanna let you leave me (Never, no, no, no)
Never, ever wanna say goodbye (To say goodbye)
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
Never break my heart and make me cry (Don't make me cry)

[Verse 2]
There's something that you do to me
Every time you hold my hand
It's a dangerous chemistry
I fear losing you, don't you understand?

[Pre-Chorus]
People say love comes and goes
And I've had other loves, but you're not like those
It's possible for things to change
But if you're really true, I will keep loving you

[Chorus]
Never, ever wanna let you leave me (Never, no, no, no)
Never, ever wanna say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
Never break my heart and make me cry (Don't make me cry)
Never, ever want to let you leave me (Never, no, no, no)
Never, ever want to say goodbye (To say goodbye)
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
Never break my heart and make me cry (Don't make me, don't make me cry, yeah)
Don't make me cry
Sweet baby

[Pre-Chorus]
People say love comes and goes
I've had other loves, but you're not like those
It's possible for things to change
But if you're really true, I will keep loving you

[Chorus]
Never, ever wanna let you leave me (Never, no, no, no)
Never, ever wanna say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
Never break my heart and make me cry (Don't make me cry)
Never, ever wanna let you leave me (Never, no, no, no)
Never, ever wanna say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
'Cause we've got a good thing, yeah
Never break my heart and make me cry (Don't make me cry)
