Good
Amy - Winehouse - You - Know - im - No Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull T-shirt
You say "why did you do it with him today?"
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray

'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy
He's in a place, but I can't get joy
Thinking on you in the final throes
This is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet your chips and pitta
You say when "we're married",
'Cause you're not bitter
"There'll be none of him no more"
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet

Then you notice a likkle carpet burn
My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would




I told you I was troubled
Yeah, you know that I'm no good

Overall Meaning

The song "You Know I'm No Good" by Amy Winehouse is a heartbreakingly honest admission of guilt and lack of self-control. The narrative depicts a toxic relationship, where the singer is cheating on her current lover with her ex, all while being frank about her own dishonesty and the damage it is causing to everyone involved. The lyrics show the self-awareness and acceptance of one's bad behavior, as well as the inability to change or break free from destructive patterns.


The opening lines of the song set the scene in a bar where the singer meets her love interest, who is described as wearing a skull t-shirt and has a nonchalant attitude towards her infidelity. She feels guilty and admits to her partner's superiority with the line "You tear me down like Roger Moore". The narrative then progresses to a flashback where she is in bed with her ex-boyfriend, unable to find joy despite the physical intimacy, and thinking about her current love interest. As she's lost in thought, her partner arrives, and they have a painful confrontation, resulting in the singer breaking down on the kitchen floor.


The song's lyrics show a chaotic and self-destructive relationship, where the singer is fully aware of her faults but unable to change them. The honesty in the lyrics makes it a relatable and powerful exploration of self-destructive behavior and toxic relationships.

@@cooljoe1420 We all are heartbreakers, all of our thoughts are evil and all our good deeds are filthy rags.

Jeremiah 17:9Ā -Ā The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Mark 7:21Ā -Ā For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Romans 1:21Ā -Ā Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Isaiah 64:6
But weĀ areĀ all as an unclean thing, and allĀ ourĀ righteousnessesĀ areĀ as filthyĀ rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; andĀ ourĀ iniquities,Ā likeĀ the wind, have taken us away.


We all were:
Psalms 51:5Ā -Ā Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Our Life Is Like Unto A Race
1 Corinthians Chapter 9
24Ā Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Why are rich and famous depressed?
lets list the reasons;
they`re trans, faking life 100% daily
their master is lucifer, the father of lies.
they have no looks, needs to fake these,
they have no talent, needs to fake these.
they are famous only a moment.
they are rich only for moment.
To have the moment on stage, wicked and sick ritual must be performed.
They are masons in masonry.
Nothing`s real, only illusions.
They have it harder , to give their soul over to CHRIST and return back HEAVEN (Luke 18:25 KJV and Mark 10:25 KJV)

true Christians are born again = new creatures in CHRIST, able to no longer sin and able to understand GOD perfectly.
We are to make a conscious choosing between GOD = CHRIST and mammon = lucifer.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

we since birth live in the devils kingdom, this earth here, it shall be created anew, but not yet, still is the church time = still time for souls to get saved and be raptured up. until we come to repentance and born again, we remain living according to the devil.
devils expectations to us are:
lie/deceive kill destroy remain wicked sinner who praise death daily.
because devil is the father of lies:
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

GOD `s expectations to us:
come to repentance
come out from BABYLON
born again
live holy
do the will of your heavenly father.
Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
1 Peter 1:16 - Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
