I'm No Good
Summer Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm no good
For you
I'll break your heart in two
It's true
Babe, I'm no good
I'm no good
It started out with just an innocent kiss
You came along when I was so lonely
But all I wanted was someone to hold me
How can I stop you from falling too fast?
How can I say that this wasn't meant to last?
You don't know me and
You don't know what I'd do
I'm no good
I'm no good
For you
I'll break your heart in two
It's true
Babe, I'm no good
