We've Got a Good Thing Going
Love Unraveled: Salvaging What's Slipping Away
Lyrics
Bad news, bad news
Expressing disappointment or concern about something negative.
I heard you're packing to leave
Aware of the listener's intention to leave or end a relationship.
I come running right over
Reacting promptly and urgently by going to the person in question.
I just couldn't believe it
Expressing disbelief at the news, finding it hard to accept.
I couldn't believe it
Reiterating the difficulty in accepting the situation.
Oh baby, baby
Expressing affectionate or endearing address to the person.
You must be out of your mind
Questioning the sanity or rationality of the person leaving.
Do you know what you're kicking away
Prompting awareness of the value being discarded or lost.
We've got a good thing goin', baby
Affirming the presence of a positive and valuable relationship.
We've got a groovy thing
Highlighting the enjoyable and positive aspects of the relationship.
I've never done you no wrong
Claiming innocence or lack of wrongdoing in the relationship.
I never hit you when you're down
Denying physically hurting the partner during vulnerable moments.
I always gave you good thing
Emphasizing consistently providing positive and beneficial things.
I never ran around
Asserting loyalty by stating not engaging in extramarital affairs.
I never ran around
Repeating the commitment to fidelity in the relationship.
Oh baby, baby
Repeating affectionate address with a hint of disbelief or concern.
You must be out of your mind
Reiterating doubt about the rationality of the decision to leave.
Do you know what you're kicking away
Reemphasizing the loss of a valuable relationship.
We've got a good thing goin', baby
Confirming the positive nature of the relationship.
We've got a groovy thing
Repeating the enjoyable and positive aspects of the relationship.
There's something you ought to know
Introducing new information that the listener should be aware of.
If you're fixing to go
Addressing the intention to leave and its potential consequences.
I can't make it without you
Expressing dependence and inability to cope without the person.
No no no no, no no no no
Repeating a strong refusal or denial of the possibility of coping alone.
No no no no, no no no no
Further emphasizing the firm denial of coping alone.
Oh baby, baby
Repeating affectionate address and questioning rationality.
You must be out of your mind
Reiterating doubt about the rationality of leaving.
Do you know what you're kicking away
Reemphasizing the value being lost or discarded.
We've got a good thing goin', baby
Confirming the positive nature of the relationship.
We've got a groovy thing
Repeating the enjoyable and positive aspects of the relationship.
We've got a good thing goin', baby
Affirming the continuation of a positive and valuable relationship.
We've got a groovy thing
