You're Messing Up a Good Thing Lyrics
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I keep on trying to make you believe it.
(Sha-[a-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) Oh girl, let me tell you something
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) And I hope you understand.
I wouldn't do anything to hurt ya,
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) 'Cause I'm not that kind of man.
Always accusing me of saying I'm doing ya wrong.
If you don't believe I'm working,
Then why you're staying at home?
Trying my best to give you the thing you never had,
But you twist around everything I say
Just to make me feel bad.
Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby.
Oh baby, yeah.
Tell me how can we keep on fighting this way?
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) I can't understand it.
Oh girl, I love ya
And it hurts to see you cry.
It's just as hard for me to come home
As it is to say goodbye.
Darling, you're mine.
I'm not doing what you say I do.
Girl, I tell you, everywhere I go,
You could check it if you wanted to.
Why do you complain so much?
I'm sacrificing too.
Is it because you don't love me as much as I love you?
(Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby.) I keep on calling ya, baby.
I keep on hoping, yeah, baby.
Ohhh, baby.
Tell me how can we go on fighting this way?
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) Oh baby, I just can't understand it.
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) Can't understand ya, baby.
Ohhh, ahhh, baby. (Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I keep on trying to make you believe it.
(Sha-[a-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) Oh girl, let me tell you something
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) And I hope you understand.
I wouldn't do anything to hurt ya,
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) 'Cause I'm not that kind of man.
If you don't believe I'm working,
Then why you're staying at home?
Trying my best to give you the thing you never had,
But you twist around everything I say
Just to make me feel bad.
Oh baby, yeah.
Tell me how can we keep on fighting this way?
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) I can't understand it.
And it hurts to see you cry.
It's just as hard for me to come home
As it is to say goodbye.
Darling, you're mine.
I'm not doing what you say I do.
Girl, I tell you, everywhere I go,
You could check it if you wanted to.
Why do you complain so much?
I'm sacrificing too.
Is it because you don't love me as much as I love you?
I keep on hoping, yeah, baby.
Ohhh, baby.
Tell me how can we go on fighting this way?
(Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) Can't understand ya, baby.
Ohhh, ahhh, baby. (Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
