No Good for Me
Jimmy Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though I know it's wrong
When I hear your voice
I have no choice, I'm not that strong
And I keep running back to you
I don't know why I do
Something here
It feels so good to hold you close
Even though deep down inside
I know that you're no good for me
We make up and we make love
It's the habit, I'm the addict
And you are my drug
And I keep running back to you
I don't know why I do
There's something here
That just won't let me stay away
Feels so good to hold you close
Even though, deep down inside
I know that you're no good for me
I'm drawn to you like coke is to a bottle
When I get burnt, you'd think I'd learn
But I keep running back to you
Oh, there's something here
That just won't let me stay away
It feels so good to hold you close
Even though, deep down inside
I know that you're no good for me
The song "No Good for Me" by Jimmy Wayne is a confession of the struggles of a person trying to let go of their lover, who they know is no good for them. The lyrics reveal the singer’s weakness in trying to walk away from a toxic relationship. The initial lines, "I pick up the phone, though I know it's wrong, when I hear your voice, I have no choice, I'm not that strong," highlights the internal battle of the singer who knows he's making a mistake by answering the call, yet cannot resist the temptation to connect with the person who he knows is harmful to his wellbeing. He admits to being an addict and that his lover is his drug, with "We make up and we make love, it's the habit, I'm the addict, and you are my drug" portraying the depth of his passion for the person, albeit unhealthy.
Despite recognizing the other person's negative impact, the singer still finds himself drawn to them, likening their attraction to an addict's dependency on drugs. He admits that he should learn from past mistakes, but finds it challenging, as captured in the lines, "When I get burnt, you'd think I'd learn, but I keep running back to you." This song highlights the struggles of individuals caught in toxic relationships, where the desire to be loved clouds their judgement, making it challenging to walk away, even when they know the other person's detrimental effect.

I pick up the phone
I respond to your phone call
Though I know it's wrong
Even though I am aware that it's not right
When I hear your voice
When I listen to the sound of your voice
I have no choice, I'm not that strong
I lack the willpower to resist you
And I keep running back to you
I continuously pursue you
I don't know why I do
I am uncertain about my motivations
Something here
There's an unknown factor
Just won't let me stay away
Preventing me from staying away
It feels so good to hold you close
It's satisfying to embrace you
Even though deep down inside
Despite being aware at a fundamental level
I know that you're no good for me
You are detrimental to my well-being
We make up and we make love
We reconcile and engage in physical intimacy
It's the habit, I'm the addict
This is a recurring pattern that I am addicted to
And you are my drug
You are my addictive substance
I'm drawn to you like coke is to a bottle
I am attracted to you deeply, like an addictive substance
When I get burnt, you'd think I'd learn
Even after getting hurt, I fail to learn my lesson
Oh, there's something here
Once again, there's an unidentified factor
That just won't let me stay away
Preventing me from avoiding you
It feels so good to hold you close
It's pleasurable to be close to you
Even though, deep down inside
Despite being fully aware
I know that you're no good for me
You are ultimately not beneficial for me

Brianna Madson
This is the song I sang to my EX and I made him cry... This is "our" song even though were not dating we are still the bestest of friends. I miss him so much at times, but deep down inside I know he's no good for me. People say we were a cute couple only if they knew how much we fought and yelled at eachother they would know why we werent a cute couple in our eyes. Jeirid baby if you EVER see this just please know that I miss you and still care for you. If you ever need me i'm here for you.
