We Had a Good Thing Goin'
Rediscovering Love Lost: The Emotional Journey of 'We Had a Good Thing Goin''
Lyrics
We had a good thing goin'
We had a positive and fulfilling relationship.
But it couldn't last.
The relationship couldn't endure or continue.
We had a good thing goin',
Reiteration of the once good relationship.
But now it's just a thing of the past.
Now it's only a memory, no longer a current reality.
Love took a long time growin'
Love took time to develop.
And then it turned bad.
Despite its positive start, the love has turned negative.
You've got no way of knowin'
The singer feels the partner doesn't understand the depth of their emotional pain.
Just how much I'm missin' all the love we had.
Expressing the intensity of missing the past love.
Well I know that you don't want my love no longer, baby,
Acknowledging that the partner no longer desires the singer's love.
But my love for you keeps getting stronger, baby.
Despite rejection, the singer's love continues to grow.
Even though you're gone,
Even though the partner is gone, the singer can't let go.
I can't keep from hangin' on
The struggle to move on is evident.
Because, we had a good thing goin',
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the past relationship.
So don't let it end.
An appeal not to end the positive memories of the relationship.
Let's save our love by showin'
Suggesting that love can be saved through expression and action.
That we can get that good thing goin' again.
Encouraging efforts to revive the positive aspects of the relationship.
We had a good thing goin',
Reiteration of the plea not to end the positive memories.
So don't let it end.
Repeating the call to save the love through action.
We'll save our love by showin'
Reiterating the belief that the positive aspects can be revived.
That we can get that good thing goin' again.
Encouraging efforts to bring back the positive dynamics of the relationship.
