You're No Good
Everett Betty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Feeling better now that we're through
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
And now I see how you really are
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good
I broke a heart that's gentle and true
I left a boy for someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
But I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
It's no good
No good
It's no good
Baby, it's no good
Hey, I'm gonna say it, you gotta
(It's no) good
No good
It's no good
Baby, it's no good
Mmm, no good
Hm, if you'll help me, we'll start anew
It'll be easy forgetting you
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good
Oh! You know what I mean?
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good, you're no good
Oh! Oh!
Oh, I'm telling you now baby and I'm going my way
Forget about you baby 'cause I'm leaving to stay
You're no good
No good
No good
Baby, you're no good
Oh, oh oh-oh, I say!
You're no good
No good
You're no good, baby
