"You'll Lose a Good Thing" is an American song initially written by rhythm and blues artist Barbara Lynn Ozen, and made famous in the 1970s by country music-Tejano singer Freddy Fender.

Ozen — then performing as Barbara Lynn — recorded a bluesy rendition of the song in 1962 [ [http://www.bluesaccess.com/No_44/barbaralynn.html Blues Access Online: Barbara Lynn] ] , and Fender retained those bluesy, soulful elements when he recorded a country version of the song in 1975. In April 1976, the song became his fourth No. 1 song on the "Billboard magazine" Hot Country Singles chart.
