We’ve Got a Groovy Thing Goin’ Lyrics

Bad news, bad news
I heard you’re packing to leave
I come a-running right over
I just couldn’t believe it
I just couldn’t believe it

Oh, baby, baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you’re kickin’ away?
We’ve got a groovy thing going, baby
We’ve got a groovy thing

I never done you no wrong
Never hit you when you’re down
Always gave you good lovin’
I never ran around
I never ran around

Oh baby baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you’re kickin’ away?
We’ve got a groovy thing going, baby
We’ve got a groovy thing

There’s something you ought to know
If you’re fixin’ to go
I can’t make it without you
No no-no-no, no, no
No-no-no no no, no, no
Oh baby baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you’re kickin’ away?
We’ve got a groovy thing going baby
We’ve got a groovy thing
We’ve got a groovy thing going baby
We’ve got a groovy thing
We’ve got a groovy thing going baby
We’ve got a groovy thing
We’ve got a groovy thing going baby
We’ve got a groovy thing....

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

If this sounds familiar it’s because it borrows from the earlier track Anji. That is also a cover. The original was written by Davy Graham in 1961. This song is directly influenced by Paul Simon’s time in England and the folk revival that was occuring there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anji_(instrumental)
