You're No Good
Kelly Charles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't need no one, that's no good for me
You're no good for me, I don't need nobody
Don't need no one, that's no good for me
You're no good, boy, don't need nobody
Don't need no one that's no good for me
You're no good, boy, don't need nobody
You come around knocking at my door
I tried to tell you I don't want you no more
Can't understand you're no good for me
Oh baby please take this misery away
Take it away
I really tried to make you so happy
I've done the best (the best) so you can see
It's not on me, it's all 'cause of you
I've done the things that I had to do
Don't need nobody that can't bring me joy
I need a man, not a childlike boy
No, never
No, never can I let you take the place of
(No, never) of my happiness, no, oh no
Don't need, don't need no boy, oh boy
Don't need no boy, boy, boy, boy, boy
You're no good for me, I don't need nobody
Don't need no one, that's no good for me
You're no good for me, I don't need nobody
Don't need no one, that's no good for me
Memories are so hard to forget
Especially ones that you tend to regret
I gave you joy, you played me like a toy
I gave my best, you jilt me like the rest
Thats why I know you're no good for me
I just wanted you to arouse my curiosity
I look inside to know what's good for me
(And baby it's not you)
(No, never) no, never have you tried to understand me
(No, never) I need, I need no boy
Don't need no
Don't need no boy, boy
Don't need no boy
Don't need no
Don't need no boy, boy
Boy boy boy
You're no good for me
You're no good for me, no no no no!
You're no good for me
You're no no no no no no good
You're no good, boy, for me, no no no no no
You're no good, boy!
Oh yeah!
That's how I know you're no good, you're no good
You're no good for me
No more boy (boy boy, boy)
Boy, you're no good
(Don't talk)
You're no good, no good, no good
(Don't come around)
You're no good
Don't need no one that's no good for me
You're not good for me
You're no good, boy
You're no good for me
Don't need no one, that's no good for me
The lyrics of Kelly Charles's song "Your No Good For Me" express a strong determination to distance oneself from someone who is toxic and not beneficial for their well-being.

Classic early House music record, kinda cool, The Prodigy sample brought me here, bless her for singing accapella at the beginning of the track! ✌️😎👍
@mdjcsmith
You heard this? https://youtu.be/-RMLhSg9QTY
@goatlps
Can't stand the Prodigy track - it was dated from the moment it was produced. Speeded up vocals are horrible. Easily the worst track on the album, which was otherwise legendary, and not dated.
@TheOriginalDJMoses
me too!
@snapphanen
@@goatlpsdisagree completely. It's the best track on that album. I even find it to be the best prodigy song of them all lol
@opiumoverlord1088
@snapphanen defo agree with you on that. Say, where can I find the prodigy version of this? All I can find is the "no good (start the dance)" version which is no where as good as the version with this songs lyrics but the prodigys sound.
@bigdad1211
The Paradise Garage back in the day! Good times! I loved this song!
@alexanderdiaz1
Yes!!!!
@Yahishot
The PRODIGY!

The Prodigy GOAT...RIP Keith Flint, Rip The Prodigy!
