Good Thing Going
Protecting Love's Promise
Lyrics
We've got a good thing going
We currently have a positive relationship.
So we've got to protect it
We must take steps to preserve our good relationship.
They say people lose it
It's said that people often lose good things unexpectedly.
When they least expect it
This loss occurs when they are unprepared for it.
Baby, I know it's true
I acknowledge this truth, but I'm not concerned about our relationship.
But I don't worry 'bout us
Expressing confidence and lack of worry about the relationship.
And all the friends we thought
Referring to friends who were expected to have lasting relationships.
Were gonna make it forever
These friends faced difficulties and didn't maintain their relationships.
They all ran into trouble
Highlighting the troubles encountered by those friends.
And now they're not together
Resulting in the dissolution of their relationships.
Baby, I know it's sad
Recognizing the sadness of such situations.
But I don't worry 'bout us
Despite recognizing the sadness, there's no worry about the speaker's relationship.
'Cause how could anybody turn my head
Questioning how anyone could divert the speaker's attention.
When my heart's forever lost to you
Emphasizing the enduring commitment of the heart to the partner.
How could I fall into another's arms
Pondering the impossibility of falling for someone else.
When I've fallen so deep into a love so true?
Expressing a deep connection to the current true love.
We've got a good thing going
Reiterating the existence of a positive relationship.
So we can't get lazy
Acknowledging the need for continuous effort to maintain the relationship.
Got to keep working at it but then
Despite the work, the speaker is passionately devoted to the partner.
You know I'm crazy for you
Expressing a strong emotional connection to the partner.
It's not so hard
Asserting that maintaining the relationship is not difficult.
I don't worry 'bout us
Reiterating the lack of concern about the relationship.
How could anybody turn my head
Repeating the question of how anyone could distract the speaker.
When my heart's forever lost to you
Reaffirming the enduring commitment of the heart to the partner.
How could I fall into another's arms
Raising the impossibility of being with someone else due to deep love.
When I've fallen so deep into a love so true?
Confirming the profound connection to the current true love.
We've got a good thing going
Re-emphasizing the presence of a positive relationship.
And we've got to protect it
Highlighting the importance of preserving the relationship.
Because there's nothing better
Acknowledging that there's nothing better than the current relationship.
Baby, don't you forget it
Encouraging the partner not to forget the greatness of their relationship.
I know I never will
Expressing a personal commitment to always remember the relationship's value.
I don't worry 'bout us
Reiterating the lack of worry about the relationship.
Oh, no, baby, I never will
Affirming the commitment to never worry about the relationship.
I don't worry 'bout us
Restating the lack of concern about the current relationship.
