My goodness, just left to make room for you
Oh, my goodness sure knows what it wants to do
My goodness, I go bad at the drop of a heart
My goodness always stops when my trouble starts

Ain't nothing bad about me
I got all my feelings tamed
I've been a faithful, honest woman
And he knows my love won't change
But none of you have seen me
When this past of mine stops by
In the form of a handsome stranger I've loved since '75

My goodness, just left to make room for you
Oh, my goodness sure knows what it wants to do
My goodness, I go bad at the drop of a heart
My goodness always stops when my trouble starts

My goodness is strong and it's stronger laying down
He's only here to love me then he'll leave this town
Very bad thoughts I'm thinkin' today
I can't keep my mind out of the gutter
Not even to save my soul
I take a drink and lose control
You buy a bottle and, my bird, she goes out the window
My goodness
My goodness
My goodness...
