We were 23, little apartment downtown in the big city
It was all good, as long as you were there with me
Not care in the world, there was no other girl like you
We had a double bed on the floor in the room, no AC vent
Credit card was the only way we paid the rent
We were just getting by, living life ride or die with you
I hope you got the life you always wanted
But do you ever kind of wish we never lost it?
Ooh, 'cause we had a good thing, baby
We had it almost, maybe
We had forever in our hearts from the start
But sometimes meant to be falls apart
We had a love like crazy
The world was ours for the taking
I wish I knew what we had when we had it
'Cause looking back, girl
We had a good thing, baby, ooh
We had a good thing, good thing, baby
Never had a doubt, just kids but we had it all figured out
Saving up, trying to put a little money down
On a ring, on a truck, on a house by the lake way out
I hope you got the life you always wanted
But do you ever kind of wish we never lost it?
Ooh, 'cause we had a good thing, baby
We had it almost, maybe
We had forever in our hearts from the start
But sometimes meant to be falls apart
We had a love like crazy
The world was ours for the taking
I wish I knew what we had when we had it
'Cause looking back, girl
We had a good thing, baby, ooh
We had a good thing, good thing, baby
We had a good thing, baby, ooh
We had a good thing, good thing, baby
I'd be lying if I said that I don't wanna try again
That I don't miss you now and then
'Cause I still picture us back when
We had a good thing, baby
We had it almost, maybe
We had forever in our hearts from the start
But sometimes meant to be falls apart
We had a love like crazy
The world was ours for the taking
I wish I knew what we had when we had it
'Cause looking back, girl
We had a good thing, baby, ooh
We had a good thing, good thing, baby
We had a good thing, baby
We had a good thing, good thing, baby
