Good Good Lovin'
Cheryl Ladd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When this crazy world
Has got me going
When I'm feeling hung-up
And strung up tight
When I just feel like crying
'Cause nothing's satisfying
I know what I gotta get to set me right

All I need is your good, good lovin' babe
That'll pick me up before I count to ten
Just a little bit of your good, good lovin'
Makes this big bad world look good again

We all have those days
When we're downhearted
And just the job of living
Is hard to do
But when his happens to me
And I get kind of gloomy
I know what is guaranteed to see me through

All I need is your good, good lovin' babe
That'll pick me up before I count to ten
Just a little bit of your good, good lovin'
Makes this big bad world look good again

Good, good lovin'
Good, good lovin'
Makes this big bad world look good again

All I need is your good, good lovin' babe
That'll pick me up before I count to ten

Just a little bit of your good, good lovin'
Makes this big bad world look good again
