Patricia Lynn Yearwood was born in Monticello, Georgia to Jack and Gwen Yearwood, and developed her musical talent in Nashville, Tennessee, where she interned as a receptionist for the local company MTM Records.
Garth Brooks and Yearwood first met in October 1987 recording demos for songwriter Kent Blazy. The two immediately hit it off as friends, and pledged whoever made it big first would help the other out. When Garth landed a major tour in 1991, he brought Trisha along to open all of his shows. Even when they became two of the biggest country stars of the 1990s, they remained close friends.
Yearwood's self-titled debut album was released in 1991, and the lead single, "She's in Love with the Boy," went to the top of the country charts, making her an instant star. Yearwood secured similar success with the 1992 release of "Hearts in Armor", which featured the hit singles “Wrong Side of Memphis,” and “Woman Walk the Line”.
The title track of 1993's "The Song Remembers When" went to number two, and she followed it with a Christmas album, "The Sweetest Gift", in 1994; that year, she also won her first Grammy award. In 1995, Yearwood released her fourth studio album, "Thinkin' About You". The lead single, "XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country Chart, her first #1 since her debut single, followed by her third #1 single, "Thinkin' About You". Yearwood performed at the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
In 1997, Yearwood issued her first compilation, "(Songbook) A Collection of Hits", which became her first album to top the country charts and also reached the pop Top Five. She won a Best Female Country Vocal Performance Grammy for “How Do I Live”. Yearwood's two additional new singles from her Songbook album were major hits, "Perfect Love", which peaked at #1, and a duet with Brooks, "In Another's Eyes". Yearwood was also named "Top Female Vocalist" in 1997 by the Academy of Country Music and won the "Female Vocalist of the Year" award from the Country Music Association in 1997 and 1998.
In 1998, Yearwood won her third Grammy and released her next all-new album, "Where Your Road Leads". Yearwood was inducted into the famed and historic Grand Ole Opry in 1999, cementing her status as a true icon in country music. 2000's "Real Live Woman" was a more personal outing that reflected some of her heartbreak and turmoil caused by her divorce from her husband at the time. She released her eighth studio album in 2001, "Inside Out". The lead single, "I Would've Loved You Anyway" became a Top 5 Country hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Country Chart in 2001 and became her first Top 10 since 1999, and her last single to reach the Top 10 to date. Yearwood also played Lt. Cmdr. Teresa Coulter on the TV show JAG as a Navy coroner and forensic pathologist who aids JAG on several cases (seasons 3-7, 7 episodes).
After a three year hiatus from recording albums, Yearwood released her ninth studio album "Jasper County" in 2005. The album was a return to a more country sound than her last several studio recordings. The first single, "Georgia Rain," set the tone for the album, with Yearwood altering the lyrics to pay homage to her home, singing about "the Georgia rain on the Jasper County clay."
In late 2006, Yearwood announced she was parting ways with MCA Records. MCA then released a "Greatest Hits" CD on September 11, 2007. The album features two new songs, plus fifteen other tracks covering her career from 1991-2001. MCA also released "Love Songs" on January 15, 2008; an album made up of previously released tracks from her prior MCA albums. Yearwood's tenth album, "Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love", was released by independent Nashville label Big Machine Records in November 2007, and spawned 3 singles, with the title track peaking at #19 on the Billboard Country Chart.
Yearwood has won three Grammy Awards among several nominations. She has also won the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music awards for Best Female Performer (CMA: 1997, 1998; ACM: 1997).
She married her first husband, Christopher Latham, in 1987 but the two divorced in 1991. Trisha married Robert Reynolds, the bass player for The Mavericks, on May 21, 1994, and they divorced in 1999.
On May 25, 2005, Yearwood became engaged to fellow country superstar and longtime friend Garth Brooks in front of 7,000 fans. On December 10, 2005, they were married in a private ceremony at the couple's home in Owasso, Oklahoma. It was Brooks' second marriage and Yearwood's third. Brooks has three daughters from his first marriage--Taylor, August, and Allie.
Trisha hit the country charts in 2006 with a duet with her husband called "Love Will Always Win". It was the fifth duet the couple has recorded; the others were "In Another's Eyes," "Where Your Road Leads," "Wild as the Wind," and "Squeeze Me In."
Yearwood lives on a ranch in Owasso, Oklahoma with husband Brooks and his three daughters. When she's not touring, she enjoys cooking, hiking, and reading. In April 2008, she released a cookbook entitled "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen".

Nothin About You Is Good For Me
Trisha Yearwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you come around here messin' with me
Don't call me baby
Your pretty lady ain't the same little woman that she used to be
Don't you come over here layin' on the horn
Don't call my telephone one more time
Don't call my mama, don't call my sister
[Chorus]
All your silver-tongue sweet-talkin' lies
They got old a long long time ago
You know it's a shame you're so
Hell bent on bein' hard-headed (ain't it though)
You ain't nothin' but a reason to run
You ain't got nothin' good for no one
No heart, no class, no job, no clue
Ain't nothin' about you good for me baby
Nothin' about you is good for me (no)
Don't you come over here wheelin' and a dealin'
Don't come around here beggin' me back
Makin' a promise, not a nickel in your pocket
With your mouth writing checks that you can't cash
[Chorus x2]
I said nothin' about you is good for me baby
Nothin' about you is good for me (no)
Trisha Yearwood's song Nothin About You Is Good For Me is a song about a woman who has had enough of her man and wants him to stop trying to contact her. The lyrics are straightforward and to the point, with the woman telling the man not to come knocking on her door or messing with her anymore. She also tells him not to call her "baby" and that she has changed and is not the same woman she used to be.
The woman lists all the things the man should not do, from laying on the horn to calling her family. She sings about how all his silver-tongue sweet-talkin' lies have gotten old a long time ago and that he has no heart, class, job or clue. The chorus repeats the message that there is nothing good about him for her, and that he is just a reason to run away.
This song's straightforward message resonates with anyone who has been in a relationship that they know is not good for them. It speaks to the empowerment of leaving a toxic partner and moving on. The strong lyrics and message are complemented by Trisha Yearwood's strong voice, making it a standout track on her 2001 album, Inside Out.

I like a man who's crazy about me
I like a man who can live without me too
That's what I like about you
I like a man who will lay down beside me
I like a man who will stand up to me too
That's what I like about you
Don't want a man to be my twin
Under my thumb, under my skin
Don't want a man like a shadow on the ground
With nothing else to do but follow me around
I like a man who will cry on my shoulder
Who don't mind if I cry sometimes too
That's what I like about you
I like a man who can make it happen
Who can get me laughing when my whole world breaks in two
That's what I like about you
You can be soft, honey, you can be strong
Maybe that's the reason we get along
Everything you do, you do just right
You're tender in love, tough in a fight
I like a man who will lay down beside me
Stand up to me, cry on my shoulder
Crazy 'bout me, can't live without me too
That's what I like about, can't live my life without
That's what I like about you

Stand up to me, cry on my shoulder, crazy about me
Can live without me too
That's what I like about
Can't live my life without

紡蓮魅歌
Oh, my... This song... lol First off, implies a history of some really bad boyfriends prior to the one the song is based on. Like... Little, pansy boy ones desperate to be liked...
Second... It's an unhealthy relationship... And, kind of butch of the chick character in the song...
Third... Three MEN wrote this song.
MEN.
And, THREE of them.
And, this is the best they could come up with?
Man, that's terrible.
This is awful!
The only thing good in it is her voice! But, the singing could be better! It's a bit flat emotionally, and more about following along, performing as supposed to.
