I know you know he's getting over
The rumors say he's fooling around
Your face sadly pressed upon my shoulder
Too bad to hear he's putting you down
'Cause no one knows about a good thing
Until a good thing is gone
Remember when you loved a good thing
To lose one is just no fun
No one knows about a sweet thing
Until a sweet thing is gone
Baby, dry your eyes (Baby, dry your eyes)
You don't have to cry (You don't have to cry)
You know I love you, love you so madly, oh yeah
Again you've been pushed, pushed off to the curb, oh yeah
I beg to take you, I'd have you so gladly
Just give me some sign (Give me)
Baby, say the word (Baby, say the word)
'Cause no one knows about a good thing
Until a good thing is gone
Remember when you loved a good thing
To lose one is just no fun
No one knows about a sweet thing
Until a sweet thing is gone
Baby, dry your eyes (Baby, dry your eyes)
You don't have to cry (You don't have to cry)
I guess no one knows what you've really been living
It's funny like that
I don't wanna compete, I just wanna (What?)
I just wanna (What?)
Don't mean to push, but my love's in a hurry, yes, baby
I'm standing here like I wanna die (Like I wanna die)
I must admit you've got me so worried (You've got me so worried)
I just want for us to give it a try, give it a try
'Cause no one knows about a good thing (No one knows)
Until a good thing is gone (No one knows)
Remember when you loved a good thing (Remember, baby)
To lose one is just no fun (To lose one is just no fun)
No one knows about a sweet thing (Sweet thing)
Until a sweet thing is gone (Sweet thing)
Baby, dry your eyes (Baby, dry your eyes)
You don't have to cry (You don't have to cry)
No one knows about a good thing (No one)
No one (No one), no one (No one), no one (No one)
Remember when you loved a good thing (I remember)
To lose one is just no fun (To lose one is just no fun)
No one knows about a sweet thing (No one knows)
Until a sweet thing is gone (No one knows, no one knows)
Baby, dry your eyes (Baby, dry your eyes)
You don't have to cry (Don't cry, baby)
Don't cry, baby (Don't cry, baby)
Don't cry, baby (Don't cry, baby)
Sweet thing (Sweet thing)
No one knows about a sweet thing (No one knows)
Until a sweet thing is gone (No one knows)
Baby, dry your eyes (Baby, dry your eyes)
You don't have to cry (You don't have to cry)
No one knows about a good thing (No one knows)
Until a good thing is gone (No one knows)
Remember when you loved a good thing (Remember, baby)
To lose one is just no fun (To lose one is just no fun)
No one knows about a sweet thing (No one knows)
Until a sweet thing is gone (No one knows)
Baby, dry your eyes (Baby, dry your eyes)
You don't have to cry (You don't have to cry)
No one knows about a good thing (No one knows)
Until a good thing is gone (No one knows)
Baby, dry your eyes (Baby, dry your eyes)
