Gregg Allman - Don't Mess Up A Good Thing Lyrics






You been cheating on me
You know my love is true
Ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna love you like I do

Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
If you keep messing around now baby
You gonna mess up a good thing
You gonna mess up a good thing

I'm might have cheated just a little bit baby
Like all the others do
Ain't about time to get my check
Now I rush it home to you

Don't you be no fool
Don't you be no fool
If you keep messing around now baby

(Good thing)
Gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing)
You don't know what you're hitting
(Good thing)
Gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing)

You tell me that you got a part-time lover
Living away cross town
But it won't be just about little while baby
Before you put me down

Now don't you go running across town baby
To catch me doing wrong
I'm just a little bit jealous baby
'Cause we got a thing going on

(Good thing)
Gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing)
You don't know what you're hitting
(Good thing)
Gonna mess up a good thing
(Good thing)
No no no no no

    My favorite of his solo albums. Well, at least, until I hear something from one of the others. Right now, I'm addicted to the Back to Macon DVD. Gotta bounce.

    Great rendition of a great song!  Saw the Allman Brothers three times with Dwayne torturing the guitar to death with his outasight riffs.  What a band!

    Same here. I was lucky enough to have a front row seat in front of Duane at a college show on Long Island, New York. When he broke his high-E string on his Les Paul, and changed it while the band kept playing, he tossed the broken string down on the stage floor. And from that moment forward, throughout the rest of the show, I kept staring at that guitar string, lol,, and I told myself,, the moment the show ends,,, I've got to snag that string!!! And................. I did!!! LOLOL!!!! What a prized possession! Years later in 1977, I got to play Duane's 1959 Cherry-Sunburst Les Paul, which was then owned by Twiggs Lyndon, the ex-road manager of the Allman Brothers, and thanks to him I got to hold that guitar, play it, and gently, lol,, placed it back into the big black coffin case that I took it out of!
