No Good
Millie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No-good man
Lovin' all the no-good things
Never treats me as he should
That ain't good
He's always bringing me down
He's no saint
Heaven knows that's what he ain't
Spends his money foolishly
Not on me
I'm the one who gets the run around

I ought to hate him and yet I love him so
For I require
Love that's made of fire
And in his arms I find
I always get that kind
No-good man
Ever since the world began
There have been other fools like me
Born to be
In love with a no-good man

I ought to hate him and yet I love him so
For I require
Love that's made of fire
And in his arms I find
I always get that kind
No-good man
Ever since the world began
There have been other fools like me




Born to be
In love with a no-good man

The chorus talks about the singer's love for her no-good man; despite knowing he's terrible for her, she can't help but be attracted to the passion he offers. The second verse reinforces the idea that the singer knows he's no saint and that he spends his money foolishly, likely on things other than her.
