Lyrics
Looking at the TV last night
Saw a thing about this couple
Seemed to get the numbers right
90 million but it just bought trouble
She's in debt, He's in jail
What they've got left goes to pay the lawyer
When ya's got a good thing
Use it right or wrong will use it for ya'
ooooh yeah
Chorus)
When ya's got a good thing
Don't take it for granted (When Ya' got a good thing)(When Ya' got a good thing)
When ya' got a good thing
You've got to hold what you've been handed
And treat it like a lover
When Ya' got a good thing (When Ya' got a good thing)
Got a call from Suzy Jones and she ran into my old boyfriend
You know the one that hurt me so
You'll never guess what he's doin'
Hanging out feeling blue
Asked her if she'd give her my new number
I said, when ya's got a good thing
Use your one chance you won't get another
When ya' got a good thing
Don't take it for granted (When Ya' got a good thing)(When Ya' got a good thing)
When ya's got a good thing
You've got to hold what you've been handed
And treat it like a lover
When ya's got a good thing (When Ya' got a good thing)
News paper on the front lawn screaming
I ain't gonna look and see
I'm happy just the way I'm feeling
Bad news ain't gonna get to me
When ya' got a good
Man ya' got ta use it carefully
And I got a good thing now
When ya' got a good thing
Don't take it for granted (When Ya' got a good thing)(When Ya' got a good thing)
When ya's got a good thing
You've got to hold what you've been handed
And treat it like a lover
When ya's got a good thing (When Ya' got a good thing) When ya' got a good thing...when ya' got a good thing... when ya' got a good thing
