Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're no good for me
But the way you movin' at me, oh it might be
You want a Jamaican one

She say she love me and I'm nice
Nothing after he return, nothing at the night
She say it's loving, make this down
No time at all, she don't wanna line
She touch me, it all become nice
She love me, for the rest of her life
D drop it down, round kiss on mi spine
Touch and make a sweet song, on top of all things

My ooh
My ee ee ee ee ee
My ooh (my baby)
My ee ee ee ee ee

My ah ah ah ah me
My melodia
My L L L LSD
I know you'll come back around
My ah ah ah ah me
My melodia
My L L L LSD
You want a Jamaican one
I know you'll come back around

If I had you back
I'll never let you go another way
Not for the life of me
How could you imagine that?
Well my mistake that send you on your way
Well nothing I can say
To you like drops of water
Don't ask me what went wrong
Can't turn back the damage I've done
Can't take em back after I'm gone
A fool to keep on trying
Can't make me walk away
'Cause baby I'm back and as I'm getting
Strung that you'll be back one day

My ah ah ah ah me
My melodia
My L L L LSD
I know you'll come back around
My ah ah ah ah me
My melodia
My L L L LSD
You want a Jamaican one
I know you'll come back around

Girl you ah mi baby
And you know so mi love is for my lady
Deserve no fifty deserve no Slim Shady
Go Shawty, it's yo birthday
No if and no maybe
Take and attack it, you're the thing, ordinary
Me as boyfriend, girl come on and come save me
Me and you're tinking me, come with me
Surely inside the long shorty
Til it wind, pon the floor and wind, pon the floor
And if you want to get girls that do me
Come here, lick it more, lick it more
Mean everything, as I me love you
So no one kill how I ever want
Any time, get chug upon the doorway
Man rest assured, pon the girl next door
Oh yes I did did

My ooh
My melodia
My ee ee ee ee ee
I know you'll come back around
My ooh
My melodia
My ee ee ee ee ee
I know you'll come back around now

You're no good for me
But the way you movin at me, oh it might be
No one ever made me feel so sweet
Now you got me begging on my knees
Baby get it for me

It's for your eyes only, living for you solely
It's for your eyes only, living for you solely
It's for your eyes only, living for you solely
It's for your eyes only, living for you solely

It's for your eyes only, living for you solely
It's for your eyes only, living for you solely
It's for your eyes only, living for you solely
It's for your eyes only, living for you solely

My ah ah ah ah me
My melodia
My L L L LSD
I know you'll come back around
My ah ah ah ah me
My melodia
My L L L LSD
I know you'll come back around





My ah ah ah ah me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Major Lazer's song "You're No Good" convey mixed feelings towards a person who is no good for the singer, but they are still drawn to them because of the way they move. The lyrics say that this person may even want a Jamaican partner. The verses are divided between a female voice singing about wanting love and intimacy, and a male voice rapping about wanting the woman back in his life. The female voice talks about the physical aspect of being with someone, wanting to touch them and create a "sweet song." The male voice expresses regret for a mistake that caused the person to leave and his desire for their return, saying "I know you'll come back around."


The chorus repeats the lines "My ah ah ah ah me, my melodia, my L L L LSD" with the addition of "I know you'll come back around" repeated twice. The lyrics seem to imply that the person is drawn to this other person despite knowing they are not good for them, and that they are hoping for their return. The song mixes themes of regret and desire with dancehall rhythms and electronic beats, creating a unique and catchy track.

Now I am begging for your love


Baby get it for me

It's for your eyes only, living for you solely
Everything I do is for you and you alone
