When a Good Thing Goes Bad - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

When a good thing goes bad

It's not the end of the world

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 worth

As the roots of your love

Intertwine with the earth

And your bodies are one

But you're living for two

And your future looks bright

Oh yes

When a good thing goes right

But time is the test

Like the sea pounds the rocks

And 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

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
