I don't have to beg you to hold me

Look out

Your good thing

Your real good thing
E Baug
Is about to come to an end
E Baug
All those nights I watched the four walls
E C#m
I did not have to watch them all alone
E Baug
Whenever someone said they wanted me
E C#m
I didn't have to tell them I was your very own
F#7 C#m
You have all the love that I've got baby

Even ice melts to water when it gets hot
Em
Look out
A7
Your good thing
Em A7
Is about to come to an end
Em A7
Your real good thing
E Baug
Is about to end
E Baug
Gettin' myself back together
E C#m
Is gonna be a big problem I know
E Baug
But when the right girl says she wants me
E C#m
You can bet I won't say no
Em A7
Cause your real good thing
Em A7
Is about to end
Em A7
Your real, your good thing
Em A7
Your good thing, baby
