You Had a Good Thing

Lyrics

[Chorus] You had a good thing and you blew it When it came right down to it You couldn't get down to it What you couldn't get down to Was treatin' our girlfriend right Such a lovely girl, such a sweet delight [Piano Solo] [Chorus] You had a good thing and you blew it When it came right down to it You couldn't get down to it Anyone could see That somethin' wasn't right We never saw her so upset As when you were comin' for the night [Verse 1] She jabs on her perfume (Jabs) Slashes on her lipstick (Slashes) Snaps (Snaps) on her bustier Yanks on her (Yanks) thong She jams on her stilettos (Jams) Crams on her hat (Crams) She's doing her duty But she's hissin' like a cat—rеow! Just tryin' to mobilize her lover To—uh—zеro Oh, with her booty [Chorus] You had a good thing and you blew it (And you blew it) When it came right down to it You couldn't get down to it I'm not talking flexibility Or the Kama Sutra But you were only nice to her When it would suit'cha (Play it, Sam) (I don't think that's Sam) [Post-Chorus] And now you hear someone else Is treating our girlfriend right You wanna know what she does When they come to spend the night? [Verse 2] Well... She dabs on her perfume (Dabs) Kisses her lipstick (Kisses) Caresses (Caresses) her bustier Thrills herself softly with her thong She admires her stilettos Turning that-a-way (Ah) and then this-a-way (Oh) She takes great delight In mobilizing her lover To greater (Greater), greater (Greater), greater (Greater) Greater heights With her beauty [Chorus] You had a good thing and you blew it (And you blew it) When it came right down to it You couldn't get down to it And what you couldn't get down to Was treatin' someone right We never saw our girlfriend so lonely As when you'd spend the night
