Esther Phillips - We've Got a Good Thing Going

{Verse 1}
Hey, my baby
Does something to my chemistry
When I'm close I'm sure
I raise his temperature up three degrees
Every day in every way
He makes my motor purr
I reciprocate
My life I dedicate to lovin' him

{Chorus}
We've got a good thing going
A good thing going, they're telling me
(We got a good thing, we got a good thing going, baby)
I don't have to ask
It's gonna last eternally
(Not a minute, not an hour, we got a good thing going)

{Verse 2}
We got understanding
Whenever handing alibis
(I know you, you know me, we know us, wе got trust)
Instead of what you do, where you been, what's thе use
We're making nice
(It's about love, love, love)

{Chorus}
We've got a good thing going
(We've got a good thing)
Everybody's telling me
(I guess we'd better listen)
I don't have to ask
It's gonna last eternally
(Not a minute, not an hour, we got a good thing going)

{Instrumental Break}

{Chorus}
We got a good thing going
A real good thing, they're telling me
(I guess we'd better listen)
I don't have to ask
It's gonna last eternally
(Not a minute, not an hour, we got a good thing going)

{Verse 3}
We got understanding
Whenever handing alibis
(You know me, we know us, we got trust)
Instead of what you do, where you been, what's the use
We're making nice
(It's about love, love, love)

{Chorus}
You see we got a good thing going
Everybody's telling me
(I guess we'd better listen)
I don't have to ask
It's gonna last eternally
(Not a minute, not an hour)

{Verse 4}
Ooh, we got love and understanding
And a whole lot
A whole lot of peace of mind, baby
We're gonna keep it all the time
We ain't gonna listen to no gossip, daddy
We're gonna hold this thing real tight
It's too good, it's too good, it's too good to let go
We're gonna hold it for the rest of our lives

{Chorus}
Whoa, we got a good thing going
A good thing going there, everybody's telling me
Instead of where you been, what's the use
We were making nice, ooh, lovin' eternally
We got a good thing going
A good thing going, yeah, yeah
Everybody's talkin' about, hey, baby
Ooh, ha ha, gonna keep on, gonna keep on
Just like it is
Ooh, just love me, baby
And ooh, you gotta understand me like I got to understand you, sweet sweet baby
I said hang in there, sweet sweet baby
It's gonna last eternally
We got a good thing, real good thing
Everybody, everybody's talkin' about it
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
