Janet Jackson – Don't Mess Up This Good Thing lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)

[Verse 1]
Well, I think you've had a long time to get your act together
It's your move and I hope you do the right thing
You know I never wanna lose you
But you must learn to play the game by the rules
Show me how much my love means to you

[Chorus]
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)
(What we have together)
Don't mess up
No baby

[Verse 2]
Well, forever may be
More time than anyone can offer
But all my time is spent in your corner
Heaven knows how much I love you
But if you think I can watch you play on me and understand it
Baby, you're taking far too much for granted

[Chorus]
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)
(What we have together)
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)
(If you still believe)
Don't mess up this good thing
Don't mess up, baby
(No one can love you better)
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)

[Verse 3]
Got to find the right words
To make you see
That you and I were meant to be

[Chorus]
Don't mess up this good thing
Don't mess it up
Don't mess up this good thing

[Bridge]
Well, forever may be more time than anyone can offer
But all my time is spent in your corner
Heaven knows how much I love you
But if you think I can watch you play on me and understand it
Baby, you're taking far too much for granted

[Chorus]
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)
(What we have together)
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)
(If you still believe)
Don't mess up this good thing (Ooh, don't mess it up, baby)
Don't mess up this good thing (No one can love you better)
Don't mess up this good thing (Sho' don't mess it up)
Don't mess up this good thing
(I've got what you need)
Don't mess up this good thing (Don't mess up this good thing)
(What we've got together)
Don't mess up this good thing
