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 )
