about

Released - Apr 1989

"Good Thing" is a song recorded by British band Fine Young Cannibals, released as the second single from their second and last album, The Raw & the Cooked (1989). The song was their second and final #1, topping the Billboard Hot 100 on 8 July 1989.[3] It also peaked at #7 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] The song made its first appearance in Tin Men (1987). Fine Young Cannibals portrayed a nightclub band in the movie, performing this song and three others (including the single's b-side "Social Security").[5] The film is set in Baltimore in 1963, and the song's retro soul style is consistent with that setting. Jools Holland played piano on the track, noting that it was "one of the biggest selling records I've ever played on

lyrics

Lyrics

The good thing in my life
Has gone away, I don't know why
She's gone away, I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her
The one good thing (hey, hey, hey) didn't stay too long
(Woo who, who, who)
My back was turned (hey, hey, hey) and she was gone
Good thing
Where have you gone?
(Doo, doo doobie doo) my good thing
You've been gone too long (good thing)
(Doo, doo doobie doo)
People say I should forget
There's plenty more, don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
That's not what (hey, hey, hey) I want to hear
(Woo who, who, who)
I want to hear (hey, hey, hey) she wants me near
Good thing
Where have you gone?
(Doo, doo doobie doo) my good thing
You've been gone too long (good thing)
(Doo, doo doobie doo good thing)
Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn't act
Morning came (hey, hey, hey) into my room
(Woo who, who, who)
Caught me dreaming (hey, hey, hey) like a fool
Good thing
My-my-my-my good thing
(Doo, doo doobie doo) my, my, my, my, my good thing
Where have you gone (good thing)?
(Doo, doo doobie doo) my good thing
Hey, hey my good thing
(Doo, doo doobie doo good thing) girl
Where have you gone (good thing)?
(Doo doo doobie doo good thing) it's been so long
Good God girl
(Doo, doo doobie doo good thing) good God girl
Good God girl (good thing)
(Doo, doo doobie doo good thing) good God
(Doo, doo doobie doo good thing) good God
Good God
