You're No Good
Lulu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling better, now that we're through
Feeling better, cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are

You're no good, 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
Yes, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me

You're no good, 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'm telling you now baby now, that I'm goin my way
Forget about me baby, cause I'm leaving this day

You're no good, 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

Overall Meaning

The song "You're No Good" by Lulu is a powerful anthem about overcoming heartbreak and realizing one's worth after a toxic relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of relief and liberation after ending a relationship with someone who was no good - someone who caused pain and left a scar. The repetition of the phrase "you're no good" emphasizes the singer's newfound strength and confidence to move on and start fresh.


The second verse reveals that the singer had broken someone else's heart over the person who was "no good." This highlights the destructive nature of toxic relationships and the ripple effect they can have on others. The singer's willingness to beg for forgiveness suggests a remorseful attitude, but also reinforces the idea that the relationship was not healthy.


Overall, "You're No Good" is a powerful message of self-love and the importance of cutting ties with those who do not deserve our time and energy. It reminds us that everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, and serves as a powerful anthem for anyone going through a difficult breakup or looking to move on from a toxic relationship.
