(First release—Jesse Fuller)
Well I don't know why I love you like I do
Nobody in the world can get along with you.
You got the ways of a devil sleeping in a lion's den
I come home last night you wouldn't even let me in.
Well sometimes you're as sweet as anybody want to be
When you get a crazy notion of jumpin' all over me
Well you give me the blues I guess you're satisfied
An' you give me the blues I wanna lay down and die.
I helped you when you had no shoes on your feet, pretty mama
I helped you when you had no food to eat.
You're the kind of woman I just don't understand
You're takin' all my money and give it to another man.
Well you're the kinda woman makes a man lose his brain
You're the kinda woman drives a man insane
You give me the blues, I guess you're satisfied
You give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die
Well you give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die
Feelin' better
Now that we're through
Feelin' better
'Cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson
It left a scar
But now I see
How you really are
Chorus:
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good...baby you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good...baby you're no good
Broke a heart
Gentle and true
Left a man
Over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness
On bended knee
But I wouldn't blame him
If he said to me
Repeat Chorus
I'm tellin' you now baby
That I'm going my way
Forget about you baby
'Cause I'm leaving today
Feeling better, now that we're through
Feeling better, 'cause I'm over you
I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
And, Now I see how you really are
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good, I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I broke a heart that's gentle and true
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
But, I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good, I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm telling you now baby and I'm going my way
Forget about you baby 'cause I'm leaving to stay
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good
Oh, oh, oh, I say
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Feelin' better, now that we're through
Feelin' better, 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
But now I see how you really are
[Chorus:]
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
I'm gonna tell you again
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
I broke her heart, gentle and true
I broke her heart, over someone like you
I'll beg forgiveness, on bended knee
But I won't blame her, if she says to me
[Chorus]
I'm tellin' you now baby
That I'm going my way
Forget about you baby
I'm on my way
[Chorus]
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
Baby, oh baby, you're no good
You're no good, you're no good
How can you be so dark and disgusting
When she's all sweetness and light
She doesn't lie through her teeth all day
She doesn't grind them in her dreams
When you hold her tight at night
How can you be so sick and suspicious
When she's health and goodness personified?
That love you gave her, it's just a virus
That wants blood for dr.hyde
She's an angel and you're a clown
She'll be flying when you're six feet under the ground
You'll be lying because someone told you you should
She's an angel and you're no good
How can you be so cool and distant
When she always does her best to be here
Right between your dreams and your nightmare desires
The hole in your wall has got so small
Her stockings are so sheer
How can you be so greedy and hopeless
She gives you everything but you still want more
If you could see the looks you give her
That's something you'd abhor
She's an angel and you're a joke
A shaggy dog shuffling in to give the punchline a poke
You're just dying to turn her into red riding hood
She's an angel and you're no good
She's a not a barbie doll
You can drag around on some dog collar
You can't wrap love up in clingflim
Keep it from getting older
She'll always be so artless
You're heartless, getting colder
Don't try to come from behind
Cos I'll be right over your shoulder
How can you treat her dumb and stupid
When she knows that you're not the bee's knees
You'll have to let her turn the bedside light right off
Instead of you turning it down to mood by the three degrees
How can you be so limp and spineless
When she'd even help you to make your final stand
It's not enough for anyone
Just to lie back and think of iceland
She's not an angel, she's flesh and blood
You do the dirty and she's crawled around right in your mud
Now you're crying, I think that we knew that you would
Deceitful unforgiving
Whoever the hell you think I am
Bring me to my knees
Let me be myself again
Forgive, forget
Hold it against me in contempt
Drowning me in tears
Bitter salt that knows no fear
I'm better off alone
Keep to myself so nobody knows
Misery follows me everywhere I go
Hello hello I'm back again
Run run run run while you can
Hello hello I'm back it's me
The mother load of misery
You're no good
Misery follows me wherever I go
Deranged in paranoia
I am just no use at all
Don't count on me
I won't be responsible
Punishing discontent
Gotta get a grip
My mind's working overtime
Twisting in a tourniquet
Ticking like a timebomb
Another pound of flesh
Red alert emergency
I'm headed for a crash
To have to hold
All in good time
I'd ruin that too
I'm better off alone
Keep to myself
So nobody knows
(Verse 1:)
Feelin' better
now that we're through.
Feelin' better, 'cause I'm over you.
I learned my lesson. It left a scar.
But, now I see how you really are.
(Chorus:)
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again.
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Baby, you're no good.
(Verse 2:)
I broke a heart that was gentle and true.
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you.
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee.
But I wouldn't blame him if he said to me,
(Back to Chorus:)
(Guitar Interlude).
I'm tellin' you, now baby and I'm going my way.
Forget about you baby, 'cause I'm leavin' to stay.
(Back to Chorus:)
Feelin' better, now that we're through
Feelin' better, 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
I broke her heart, it's gentle and true
Yes I broke her heart, over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness, on bended knee
I wouldn't blame him, if he says to me
(Forget me, it's over)
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
Baby, oh baby, you're no good
You're no good, you're no good
I'm tellin' you now baby
That I'm going my way
Forget about you baby
Your mum thinks you're sad
That you're living alone,
And your friends think if you're sad
You should call them more.
But the truth is
That you never needed someone to comfort you
Oh you've never needed someone to comfort you.
But you're no god, you're no god.
And you will never leave this place,
And you will always feel alone,
And you will never feel quite clean
In this new skin that you have grown
Until your old and broken bones
Are laid into their resting place
Just like the rest of human race.
Til I fall into my place,
Just like the rest of human race,
Til I'm laid into my final resting place,
Just like the rest of human race who've done it,
Without complaining all the way.
But you're no god, you're no god.
As long as you promise
That you will never leave
I need only worry about
You and me.
We will never leave this place,
We need never feel alone,
We will learn to feel quite clean
In this new skin that we have grown
Because our young and healthy bones
Would never lead us astray.
We will learn to feel quite clean, in this new skin that we have
We will learn to feel quite clean, in this new skin that we have
We will learn to feel quite clean, in this new skin that we have grown
Because our young and healthy bones
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good, hey.
Feeling better now that we're through,
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar,
Now I see how you really are.
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I broke a heart that's gentle and true,
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee,
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm telling you now baby and I'm going my way
Forget about you baby 'cause I'm leaving to stay
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
YOU'RE NO GOOD

Hey, hey, hey

Face down with nothing at allI race down to be a fly on
the wall
To find out everything I need to know
Like where should I throw my sacred soul
Looking to find where credit is due
And it all comes back to
You, You make it all brand new
You help me to go far
To a place with You
It's where I wanna go to where I wann go to
A hot shot attitude written on my face
I'm singing my songs to all the wrong melodies
A preacher man sticking on my case
It was probably the best thing that ever happened to me
Looking to find where credit is due
And it all comes back to
You, You make it all brand new
You help me to go far
To a place with You
It's where I wanna go to where I wanna go to
You, You make it all brand new
You help me to go far
To a place with You
It's where I wanna go to where I wanna go to
Your place I wanna go to
Go to

To a place with you is where I wanna go to
