I've Got a Good Thing
Embracing Love's Brilliance: I've Got a Sweet Thing by Dusty Springfield
Lyrics
(I got a good thing)
I possess something valuable
I got a good thing
Reiteration of having a good thing
(I got a good thing)
Emphasizing the possession of something good
I got a good thing
Reiteration of having a good thing
(I got a good thing)
Emphasizing the possession of something good
I got a good thing going
Expressing satisfaction with a positive situation
Take the sun and take the moon
Using celestial elements metaphorically
And stars that shine so bright
Highlighting the brightness of stars
All I need is my guy
Stating that having her "guy" makes everything okay
And everything's all right
Emphasizing the positive impact of her romantic relationship
Everything about him thrills me
Expressing excitement about various qualities of her partner
The way he looks at me just kills me
Describing the intense effect of her partner's gaze
He's got a way of getting to me
Highlighting her partner's unique way of reaching her
Every kiss just goes right through me
Describing the profound impact of every kiss
(I got a good thing)
Reiteration of having a good thing
I got a good thing
-(I got a good thing)
Emphasizing the possession of something good
You know I got a good thing, baby
Expressing confidence in having a good thing
(I got a good thing)
Emphasizing the possession of something good
I got a good thing going
Expressing satisfaction with a positive situation
Take the rainbow from the sky
Metaphorically referencing a rainbow and not caring about material wealth
Oh, I don't really care
Expressing indifference to material possessions
I will have a pot of gold
Valuing the presence of her partner over material wealth
As long as he is there
Stating that as long as her partner is present, everything is valuable
I never knew such sweet affection
Expressing deep affection for her partner
And it's all in my direction
Highlighting the positivity of her romantic relationship
If he left there's no mistaking
Indicating that if her partner left, it would be heartbreaking
My poor heart would start to break and
Stating the emotional impact of her partner's departure
(I got a good thing)
Reiteration of having a good thing
I got a good thing
-(I got a good thing)
Emphasizing the possession of something good
You know I got a good thing going, yeah
Expressing confidence in having a good thing
You know I got a good thing, yeah
Asserting the possession of something good
(I got a good thing)
Reiteration of having a good thing
I got a good thing, yeah
Stating the possession of something good
(I got a good thing)
Emphasizing the possession of something good
You know I got a good thing going
Expressing satisfaction with a positive situation
(I got a good thing)
Reiteration of having a good thing
You know I got a sweet thing baby
Expressing endearment to her partner
(I got a good thing)
Reiteration of having a good thing
Everything is everything, baby
Stating that everything is good with her partner
(I got a good thing)
Emphasizing the positivity of her romantic relationship
Everything is uptight, all right, out of sight
Describing the overall positivity and excitement of the relationship
(I got a good thing)
Reiteration of having a good thing
Know I got a ooh, oh, sweet, sweet thing
Expressing the sweetness of her romantic relationship
(I got a good thing)
Reiteration of having a good thing
Sweet mmm
Expressing a positive and sweet feeling
(I got a good thing)
Reiteration of having a good thing
