[Verse 1]
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 cannot follow her
[Pre-Chorus]
The one good thing didn't stay too long
My back was turned and she was gone
[Chorus]
Good thing
Where have you gone? (Do, do-do-do)
My good thing
You've been gone too long (Do, do, do-do-do)
[Verse 2]
People say I should forget
There's plenty more, don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
[Pre-Chorus]
That's not what I want to hear
I want to hear she wants me near
[Chorus]
Good thing
Where have you gone? (Do, do-do-do)
My good thing
You've been gone too long
(Do, do, do-do-do)
Good thing
[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
Then one day, she came back
I was so happy that I didn't ask
Morning came into my room
Caught me dreaming like a fool
[Outro]
Good thing, my good thing
(Do, do-do-do)
My good thing, where have you gone
(Do, do, do-do-do)
My good thing, my good thing
(Do, do-do-do)
Where have you gone
It's been so long
(Do, do, do-do-do)
Good God, girl
Good God, girl
Good God, girl
Good God
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 cannot follow her
[Pre-Chorus]
The one good thing didn't stay too long
My back was turned and she was gone
[Chorus]
Good thing
Where have you gone? (Do, do-do-do)
My good thing
You've been gone too long (Do, do, do-do-do)
[Verse 2]
People say I should forget
There's plenty more, don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
[Pre-Chorus]
That's not what I want to hear
I want to hear she wants me near
[Chorus]
Good thing
Where have you gone? (Do, do-do-do)
My good thing
You've been gone too long
(Do, do, do-do-do)
Good thing
[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
Then one day, she came back
I was so happy that I didn't ask
Morning came into my room
Caught me dreaming like a fool
[Outro]
Good thing, my good thing
(Do, do-do-do)
My good thing, where have you gone
(Do, do, do-do-do)
My good thing, my good thing
(Do, do-do-do)
Where have you gone
It's been so long
(Do, do, do-do-do)
Good God, girl
Good God, girl
Good God, girl
