Curtis Mayfield

No One Knows About a Good Thing (You Don't Have to Cry)

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

'Cos 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 the sweet thing is gone

Baby, dry your eyes, 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 curdle, oh yeah

I begged to take you, I've held you so gladly

Just give me some sign, baby say the word

'Cos no one knows about a good thing

Until the 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 the sweet thing is gone

Baby dry your eyes, you don't have to cry

I guess no one knows what you've really been living at

It's funny like that

I don't wanna complete that

I just wanna, I just wanna

Don't mean to push, but my love's in a hurry, yes baby

I'm standing here like I'm gonna die

I must admit you've got me so worried

I just want for us to give it a try, give it a try

'Cos no one knows about a good thing

Until the 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 the sweet thing is gone

Baby dry your eyes, you don't have to cry

No one knows about a good thing

Remember when you loved a good thing

To lose one is just no fun

No one knows about a sweet thing

Until the sweet thing is gone

Baby dry your eyes, you don't have to cry

Don't cry baby, don't cry baby

Don't cry baby, sweet baby

No one knows about a sweet thing

Until the sweet thing is gone
