Good love – good love – good love – good love
Good love will treat you funny, sometimes as sweet as honey,
Good love it makes me want to cry.
Sometimes this good love, it's like a bubble,
Breaks up and gives me trouble, that's when I feel I want to die.
When I touch my lips (good love), to your fingertips (good love),
Let me show how much (good love),
I'm in love with you, by the way "I do."
Every kiss and hug, is a bust and slug,
And my heart breaks apart when you don't give me your lovin'.
That's all I'm thinkin' of, good love – good love.
That's all I'm thinkin' of, good love – good love.
That's why I'm in love with you baby, good love – good love.
Good love – good love, good love can make you wonder,
Comes on like fire and thunder,
Good love can fill my soul with joy.
Sometimes this good love can leave me dreamin'
Break out and start me screamin'
Good love will make a man a boy.
Tell me you love me (good love), say it tenderly (good love),
If I close my eyes (good love),
I'm in some new world, I'm a happy girl.
I can squeeze and squeeze (good love),
Till you beg me please (good love).
S.O.S. I'm a mess when you don't give me your lovin'.
That's all I'm thinkin' of – good love, good love
That's all I'm thinkin' of – good love, good love
That's why I'm in love with you baby – good love, good love
That's why I'm in love with you baby – good love, good love.
