Don’t Mess up a Good Thing
[Intro: Chaka Khan]
Good thing, good thing

[Verse 1: Chaka Khan]
You been cheating on me, now, baby
You know I know it's true
Ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna love you like I do

[Chorus: Chaka Khan]
Don't you be no fool, don't you be no fool
Gonna keep on fooling 'round now, baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
Gonna mess up a good thing, all right

[Verse 2: Ry Cooder]
Well, I might of cheated just a little bit baby
Like many others do
But when I get my little old paycheck now
It goes right back to you

[Chorus: Ry Cooder]
Don't you be no fool, don't you be no fool
'Cause if you keep on fooling around now, baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
You're gonna mess up a good thing

They tell me you got a part-time lover
Who's living way across town
It won't be but a little while, baby
Before you put me down

[Chorus: Chaka Khan]
Don't you be no fool, don't you be no fool
Gonna keep on fooling around now, baby
Gonna mess up a good thing
Gonna mess up a good thing, all right

[Verse 4: Ry Cooder]
Let me tell you something
Now, don't you go sneaking across town,baby
To catch me doing wrong
Don't you know everybody's jealous, baby
'Cause we got a thing going on
