Smiles in the morning as warm as sunshine
Kisses when I lay down at night 
And two loving arms to console me 
I should be scared it's so right 

But too much of a good thing is a good thing 
Feelings like this can't be wrong 
And too much of a good thing is a good thing 
And we've got a good thing going on 

You look in my eyes and see my thinking 
I know when you're happy, and when you're sad 
Some would say it's too perfect 
But I don't think what we have is so bad 

Cause too much of a good thing is a good thing 
Feelings like this can't be wrong 
And too much of a good thing is a good thing 
And we've got a good thing going on 

Yeah, we've got a good thing going on
