Curtis Mayfield — No One Knows About a Good Thing You Don’t Have to Cry

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] '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 the sweet thing is gone Baby, dry your eyes, you don't have to cry [Verse 2] You know I love you, love you so madly, ah yeah Again you've been pushed Pushed off to the curb, oh yeah I begged to take you, I've held you so gladly Just give me some sign - baby, say the word [Chorus] 'Cause 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 [Bridge] I guess no one knows what you've really been living It's funny like that I don't wanna compete I just wanna, I just wanna [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 'Cause 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 [Chorus] No one knows about a good thing No one (No one), No one (No one), No one (No one) Remember when you loved a good thing To lose one is just no fun No one knows about a sweet thing (No one knows, no one knows, no one knows) Until the sweet thing is gone Baby, dry your eyes, you don't have to cry [Outro] Don't cry, baby; don't cry, baby Don't cry, baby, sweet baby Sweet thing No one knows about a sweet thing Until the sweet thing is gone Baby, dry your eyes, you don't have to cry
