Your Thing Ain't Good Without My Thing

You're telling people it's your thing
And you're doing what you wanna do
And saying that I can't tell you, baby
Just who to sock it to

But there's just one thing
That I think you oughta know
Without my sweet something
Your thing just gotta go

I'm telling your thing ain't no good
It's just ain't no good
Your thing ain't no good
Without my thing
(Ain't no good)

You call me on the telephone
Just to tell me how sweet it is
You said: There ain't been a thing like yours
In a hundred thousand years

I tried to tell you so many times
Those things you should not do
Because you don't realize
That mama's got a good thing too

I'm telling your thing ain't no good
It's just ain't no good
Your thing ain't no good
Without my thing
(Ain't no good)

I know you proudly want me
And that's the way it's gonna be
Think for good, it's your thing, baby
If you don't have me

I'm telling you, my thing (ain't no good)
Without your thing (ain't no good)
And your thing (ain't no good)
Without my thing

Your sweet something
Ain't no good without my thing

You go back and put me out
And when I'm sad and lonely
You say I'm all you wanted
But you keep it all to yourself

I knew that it wouldn't last too long
Soon I got another call
You were begging, pleading
Jumping back mama
'Cause your thing ain't nothing at all

I'm telling your thing ain't no good
It's just ain't no good
Your thing ain't no good
Without my thing
(Ain't no good)

My thing (ain't no good)
Without your thing (ain't no good)
And your thing (ain't no good)
Without my thing

A sweet something
Ain't no good without my thing
A sweet thing, a good thing, a nice thing
Good thing, whole thing
