Another restless night
For me to realize
I was misguided by her beauty
Blindsided by her eyes
She walked into my arms
And I could not let go
I was a fool in love
The first to fall
The last to know
Now someday I'll fall in love again
But I don't know if
And I can't say when

We had a good thing goin'
A fool in paradise
Now I'm living my freedom
Now that she is out of my life
This is my celebration
This is my victory song
We had a good thing going
Now she's just
A good thing gone
She's just a good thing gone
She's just a good thing gone
She's just a good thing gone

Fighting tooth and nail
Down in old town square
Every passerby
Wonders why and stops to stare
Is this the way it goes
Is this the way it ends
Are you gonna laugh at me
And say that we can still be friends
Out of luck and out of time
Sometimes passion
Ain't worth the crime

We had a good thing goin'
A fool in paradise
Now I'm living my freedom
Now that she is out of my life
This is my celebration
This is my victory song
We had a good thing going
Now she's just
A good thing gone
Nothing but a good thing
Nothing but a good thing gone
Nothing but a good thing
Nothing but a good thing gone

We had a good thing goin'
A fool in paradise
Now I'm living my freedom
Now that she is out of my life
This is my celebration
This is my victory song
We had a good thing going
Now she's just
A good thing gone
She's just a good thing gone
She's just a good thing gone
She's just a good thing
Nothing but a good thing
Nothing but a good thing gone

Nothing but a good thing
Nothing but a good thing gone
