No Good
DJ Nu-Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up lonely man street
Where faith and devotion,
I would hopefully meet
I went there with nothing
Packed as light as I could
And you begged me to stay,
Baby I'm no good
I'll love you forever
You'll stay in my heart
But all that I wanted
Was doomed from the start
I thought you could save me
Well if anyone could
But I knew that you knew all along
Baby I'm no good
Not once was I faithful,
I cheated and lied
I know that you loved me
But my hands, they were tied
I followed the voices
Like a weak man should
And I guess they were right about me,
Baby I'm no good
In the end when I've fallen
Face down in the rain
And you come back to ask me
What I lost, what I gained
I'd probably answer
I did all that I could
But it wasn't that much I'm afraid,
Baby I'm no good
No it wasn't that much I'm afraid
Baby I'm no good
These lyrics from DJ Nu-Mark's song "No Good" explore the singer's self-awareness of their own flawed nature and their inability to maintain a healthy and faithful relationship.
In the first verse, the singer describes setting off on a journey to find faith and devotion on a street called "lonely man street." They have nothing with them and are hoping to find something meaningful. However, despite the pleas of their partner who knows their true nature, the singer admits that they are no good. This suggests that they have a history of making poor choices and causing harm in relationships.
The second verse reveals that the singer has not been faithful in their past relationships, as they confess to cheating and lying. Despite their partner's love for them, the singer felt compelled to follow the "voices" that influenced their actions. It becomes clear that the singer lacks the strength to resist their temptations and is aware of their weak character.
The third and fourth verses reflect on the consequences of their actions. The singer acknowledges that they have fallen and lost something in the process. When asked about what they have gained, the singer admits that they did not do much to rectify their behavior or contribute positively to the relationship. They are resigned to the fact that they are no good and may never be able to change.
Overall, these lyrics present a portrayal of a flawed individual who struggles with fidelity and has a deep self-awareness of their shortcomings. The singer recognizes the harm they have caused in relationships and acknowledges that they are not capable of being a good partner.

I set out to wander
I embarked on a journey to explore and search for something
Up lonely man street
Along a desolate path where many lost souls tread
Where faith and devotion,
I would hopefully meet
In the hopes of encountering strong beliefs and unwavering commitment
I went there with nothing
I had no possessions or attachments
Packed as light as I could
Carrying only the bare minimum
And you begged me to stay,
Though you knew,
Even though you were aware of the truth,
Baby I'm no good
I am incapable of being a good partner or person
I'll love you forever
I will always have love for you
You'll stay in my heart
You will forever occupy a special place in my heart
But all that I wanted
However, my desires and aspirations
Was doomed from the start
Were destined to fail from the beginning
I thought you could save me
I believed you had the power to rescue me
Well if anyone could
If anyone had the ability to
But I knew that you knew all along
Deep down, I was aware that you were fully aware as well
Not once was I faithful,
I cheated and lied
I never remained loyal; instead, I betrayed and deceived
I know that you loved me
I am aware of your love for me
But my hands, they were tied
Yet, I felt powerless to change my ways
I followed the voices
I succumbed to the voices or influences around me
Like a weak man should
Just as a feeble individual would typically do
And I guess they were right about me,
And I suppose those voices were correct in their judgment of me
In the end when I've fallen
Ultimately, when I have reached a point of failure
Face down in the rain
Emotionally broken and defeated, lying in the pouring rain
And you come back to ask me
And you return to inquire from me
What I lost, what I gained
About what I have lost and gained in my journey
I'd probably answer
I would likely respond
I did all that I could
I exerted my utmost effort
But it wasn't that much I'm afraid,
Although, unfortunately, it wasn't a significant amount
No it wasn't that much I'm afraid
No, I regretfully admit it wasn't a substantial endeavor
Baby I'm no good
My dear, I am simply incapable of being a decent person
