You're No Good
Well, I'm feelin' better now that we're through.
Feelin' better, baby, I'm over you.
I learned my lesson, baby.
And it left a scar.
But now I see how you really are.
You're no good, no good.
Baby, you're no good.
No good, no good, no good.
Baby, you're no good.
I broke a heart, simple and true.
Broke a heart for someone like you.
We'll be coming back. Don't come running to me.
I wanna love you, maybe set you free.
You're no good, no good, no good.
Baby, you're no good.
You're no good, no good, no good.
Baby, you're no good.
(Used to be, I couldn't sleep at night, baby
Now, you go on. Do what you want to.)

Have you seen her?
So fine and pretty. fooled me with her style and ease.
And I feel her from across the room.
Yes, it's love in the third degree.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won'tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Come on, take a chance.
You're old enough to dance the night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
A live wire.
Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go.
She's on fire, 'cause dancing gets her higher than
Anything else she knows.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won'tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Well, don't skip romance, 'cause you're old enough to dance
The night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
Dance the night away.
Dance, dance, dance the night away.
(repeat and fade)

You better call me a doctor.
Feelin' no pain.
Overloaded, down the drain.
Somebody get me a doctor.
You better call up the ambuance, I'm deep in shock.
Overloaded, baby, I can hardly walk.
Somebody get me a doctor.
Somebody get me a doctor.
Feelin' over fine.
And I'm speedin' down that line.
Somebody get me a shot.

I've been sitting here 'bout half the night.
Oh, mama, fill my cup up.
Said I came to waste some time.
I think I'm gonna jump up.
I'm singin', I'm dancin' most every night.
And I want to do that with you babe.
Let's do this bottle right.
Oh, oh, baby, bottoms up.
Pretty maids, all in a row, go on, set 'em up, up.
Come um um um um um, baby, bottoms up.
I'm singin', I'm dancin' most every night.
And I want to do that with you, babe.
Let's do this bottle right.
Come um um um um um, baby, bottoms up.
Come um um um um um, baby, bottoms up.

Ooh, woman and a woman, them are silly games you play, yeah.
(didn't you? didn't you? )
Dealin' with your troubles drove me away.
Ooh, well a sayin' that you're leavin', I don't wanna hear that talk.
Stare at disbelief in me when I just up and walk
Outta love (outta love) again, (outta love) once again.
Ooh, lovin' and a livin' and a treat me like a fool.
(didn't you? didn't you? )
You're doin' all you can to make me sad and blue.
Didn't you?
Ooh, well a sayin' that you're leavin', I don't wanna hear that talk.
Stare at disbelief in me when I just up and walk
Outta love (outta love) again, (outta love) once again.
A-g-g-g-g-gain.

Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates
Takin' chances. we're the crash and burn.
Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave
A love cross the line where none return.
I watch my television; almost lost my mind.
It said, open your eyes. leave it all behind.
I heard the wind a whisp'rin',
Strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure.
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies.
Won't recognize them any more.
Ooh, mama, see the firelight.
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight.
Wolves at my door wised up quick.
Turn here and gone from on the go.
Seems the old folks who come up short were the pretty
Little kids who didn't want it, no.
I had to pay admission when I came tonight.
And it said, open my eyes. leave it all behind.
I heard the wind a whisp'rin',
Strong magic comin' on!
They comin' out for sure.
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies.
Won't recognize them any more.
Ooh, mama, see the firelight.
Ooh, lightin' up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light up the sky.
Light 'em up!

We was broke and hungry on a summer day
They sent the sheriff down to try an' drive us away
We were sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can, uh ha
Ooh! And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive

Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
A-from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags."
A-send the mayor down in his pickup truck
The jury look at me, say "Outta luck." Oo-ooh, yeah!

And I'm alone, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive, uh-aah!

(Guitar Solo)

Alright! Uh!

Now, I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
A-from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags."
An' we were sittin' ducks for the police man
They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can
Di-yeah, yeah!

Babe, I'm alone and, I'm on the highway
Wanted, dead or alive
Dead or alive, ow-ow!

(Guitar Solo)

Wow! I'm gone! Ooh yeah! Oh!
Ow-ow!

Baby, let me run
Oh-oh, oh-oh!
I'm a spark on the horizon
Ow!

Ow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow!
Ow-wow-wow-wow-wow!

My heart, you're breakin' my heart.
Girl, you better start thinkin' somethin' real.
Seems like loving you is just a crazy dream,
But do as you feel.
All these crazy women,
One more crazy night.
But one night's all we're given,
So, baby, leave me alone, or, baby, stay the night.
(oh, women in love)
Oh baby, make up your mind.
(make up your mind)
I know you're in love,
So, baby, make up your mind.
Scream, go on and scream that your love is all you're
Knowin'.
But, honey, if you're needing a woman just as bad as me,
You ought to be goin'.
All these crazy women,
One more crazy night.
But one night's all we're given,
So, baby, leave me alone, or, baby, stay the night.
(oh, women in love)
Oh baby, make up your mind.
(make up your mind)
I know you're in love,
So, baby, make up your mind.

She was seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin' on ringside,
On top of the world, oh, yeah.
She had her drink in her hand; she had her toes in the sand and whoa,
What a beautiful girl, ah, yeah.
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can
Turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the look to me like she'd like to fool around.
What a snappy little mammy. gonna keep her pappy happy
And accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
Well, I'm a bum in the sun and I'm having fun.
And I know you know I got no special plans.
All the bills are paid. I got it made in the shade,
And all I nee, nee, need is the woman.
What a sweet talkin' honey with a little bit of money can
Turn your head around.
Creatures from the sea with the looks to me like she'd like to fool around.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
Now, I'm a seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin';
I'm ringside, on top of the world.
I got a drink in my hand; I got my toes in the sand.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Here I am, ain't no man of the world, no.
All I need is a beautiful girl.
Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
