When a good thing goes bad
It′s not the end of the world
But it's the end of a world
That you had with a girl
Though it′s hard to admit
That the memory's sad
When you think what you had
When a good thing goes bad
Love is so strange
It's a mystery to me
It′s easy to change
And to lose what could be
So you wait and you watch
For the one who′ll agree
With the things that you need
And the life that you lead
When a good thing goes right
It's a joy beyond words
As the roots of your love
Intertwine with the earth
And your bodies are one
What you′re living for too
And your future looks bright
Oh yes, when a good thing goes right
But time is the test
Like the sea pounds the rocks
Those who love best
Sometimes fail with the shocks
And the waves break you down
And you watch your love drown
And she's so far from reach
As you stand on the beach
When a good thing goes bad
It′s not the end of the world
But it's the end of a world
That you had with a girl
Though it′s hard to admit
That the memory's sad
When you think what you had
Oh yes, when a good thing goes bad
