The Good Runs The Bad Away

(album: The Definitive Soul Collection - 2006)

Everybody does wrong sometimes
You have your faults, and I have mine
No two people are gonna to be perfect
If we love each other, the fare is worth it

The good runs the bad away
The good runs the bad away

Now dig this

We both do things we know ain't right
Sometimes we might even have a fight
But when you in my arms late at night
The way we love each other make the wrong seem right

Good runs the bad away
The good runs the bad away
Look

You won't quit, and go out in the streets
'Cause I do wrong, and sometimes I cheat
But I don't wanna cut you-a loose
Your good loving has my neck in a loop
Check me out

The good runs the bad away
The good runs the bad away

Good, the good
Runs the bad away, the good
Runs the bad away, oh, the good
Runs the bad away, oh, the good, yeah
