No Good
Kaleo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you get the vibration
Won't do you no good
It won't do you no good
You better start running
When you hear the man coming
Won't do you no good
No, we don't mind
If you don't mind
Hell, I never mind!
Now let the moment break you
Let the feeling come take you
Won't do you no good
It won't do you no good
And you know I got feelings
Won't you hit me right, you know you might as well
Won't do you no good
Said it won't do you no good
And I said kiss your baby goodbye
Come on, love, it's alright!
Heaven knows they wanna break you apart, yeah
Kiss your baby goodbye
Come on, love, it's alright!
You never know unless you give it a try
Oh baby
'Said do you no good
Yeah!
Can't fight the temptation
When you get the vibration
Won't do you no good
Won't do you no good
And you can tell I got feelings
You try to shake it off, try it, oh, you won't
You won't, do you no good
Today won't do you no good
And I said kiss your baby goodbye
Come on, love, it's alright
Heaven knows they wanna break you apart, yeah
Kiss your baby goodbye
Come on, love, it's alright
You never know unless you give it a try, oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
Whoa, yeah!
No, no, baby
Yeah!
Whoa yeah!
Want my sweet baby
Whoa, you're no good babe
Yeah!
I said yeah
One day yeah, baby!
Ah yeah
Woo!
Oh, yeah!
The song "No Good" by Kaleo is a passionate song about succumbing to temptation and living in the moment. The lyrics imply that acting on impulse, following one's desires recklessly, may not necessarily lead to success or happiness. The song mentions the "vibration" and "feeling" one gets when tempted, and how it is difficult to resist giving in to such impulses. The lyrics also suggest that the consequences of such actions "won't do you no good" in the long run, but sometimes giving in is worth the risk.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to "kiss your baby goodbye," implying that it's okay to take a leap of faith and follow one's desires, even if it potentially could lead to a goodbye or end of a relationship. The phrase "kiss your baby goodbye" is meant to convey a sense of finality, a realization that one must let go of something in order to pursue something else or to simply live life. The song implies that it's okay to let go of what's holding you back and take a chance.
Overall, the song is an ode to embracing the moment and following one's desires and intuition, even if it may have negative consequences in the future. Its message is that sometimes it's worth it to take the risk and that we may never know unless we give it a try.
