No Good
Laszlo Lantos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're in love with that fool
He's got his hands around your neck
And you can't catch another breath
I thought you said your last goodbyes
But it seems you've been hypnotized
He's got your ass running back
And I know you know
I know you know
He's no good for you
He's no good
For you
And I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
He's no good for you
He's no good
For you
He's the one who broke your heart
Ran around tearing you apart
He don't care about you no more
But you never close the door
Should've left when you had the chance
What was love is now bad romance
You can't seem to let him go
And I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
He's no good for you
He's no good
For you
And I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
He's no good for you
He's no good
For you
And he don't love you back
He cheated on your ass
There's nothing left
You can't accept
That he's not turning back
You should've left and slammed the door
You wouldn't be crying no more
It's craziness
It makes me sick
That you ask him for more
Because
I know you know
I know you know
I know you know
He's no good for you
He's no good
For you

I hate to say I told you so
I reluctantly express that I had previously warned you
But you're in love with that fool
However, you are infatuated with that foolish person
He's got his hands around your neck
He has control over you, suffocating your freedom
And you can't catch another breath
And you are unable to find solace or relief
I thought you said your last goodbyes
I believed you had bid him farewell for good
But it seems you've been hypnotized
Yet it appears you have been manipulated and mesmerized
He's got your ass running back
He has compelled you to return to him, against your better judgment
And I know you know
And I am aware that you are aware
He's no good for you
He is detrimental to your well-being
He's the one who broke your heart
He is the individual who shattered your emotions
Ran around tearing you apart
He recklessly caused you great pain and distress
He don't care about you no more
He no longer has any concern for your feelings
But you never close the door
Yet you consistently leave the possibility of him returning open
Should've left when you had the chance
You should have departed when the opportunity presented itself
What was love is now bad romance
What was once a loving relationship has transformed into a toxic affair
You can't seem to let him go
You are unable to release your grip on him
And he don't love you back
Furthermore, he does not reciprocate your affection
He cheated on your ass
He betrayed your trust by engaging in infidelity
There's nothing left
There is no remaining hope or fulfillment
You can't accept
You refuse to acknowledge
That he's not turning back
That he will not reconsider and return to you
You should've left and slammed the door
You should have departed decisively, closing the door behind you
You wouldn't be crying no more
You would no longer be in tears
It's craziness
This situation is utterly irrational
It makes me sick
It disgusts and angers me
That you ask him for more
That you plead with him to provide you with additional affection
Because
For the reason that
He's no good for you
He is detrimental to your well-being
