Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lie if you want
I get you off, baby
I'm no good, I'm no good
What's so good?
Take one thing that you're lookin' for
Take ten more and I gotta be sure
You and I know we're both crazy
You and I know we're both crazy
You set me off, baby
I'm no good, I'm no good
What's so good?
Take ten things that I'm lookin' for
Take ten more and you gotta be sure
You get me off, baby
You think I'm crazy, I think I'm crazy
I think we should just keep it that way, baby
I think I'm crazy, you think I'm crazy
I think I'mma just keep it that way, baby
You set me off, don't let me off
Don't make me soft
I get you off, don't break me off
I make you soft, lie if you want
I get you off
You set me off, I get you off, baby
You starin' and tossin', again we talkin'
Baby, keep on walkin' in the fishnet stalkin's
You starin' and tossin', secretly watchin'
It's just a love letter baby, that's not stalkin'
Come on, chase me, you can Myspace me
What you think baby? No, you can't hate me
I get you off, I make you soft
I take you off, the life I want, baby
The song "No Good" by Trouble Andrew is about the ups and downs of a passionate, volatile relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their partner are both a little bit crazy, but that's what makes their connection so intense. The singer admits to setting their partner off, but also getting them off in a sexual sense. The repeated phrase "I'm no good" suggests that the singer might not be the best partner for a stable, healthy relationship, but they still want to be with their lover despite their flaws.
The chorus encourages the listener to take more and more of what they want, indicating a desire to indulge in pleasure to mask the underlying issues. The second half of the song gets more explicit with the sexual tension and includes a reference to stalking, which foreshadows the potential for the relationship to become dangerous. Overall, the lyrics describe a relationship that is exciting but also unstable, with both partners equally responsible for the drama.
