John Wesley Harding
You’re No Good
[Verse 1]
How can you be so dark and distrusting
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 give, well it's just a virus
It wants blood with Dr. Hyde

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, she's an angel and you're a clown
Well, she'll be flying when you're six feet under the ground
You'll be lying 'cause someone told you you should

[Chorus]
She's an angel
Well, she's an angel
Well, she's an angel and you're no good
She's an angel
Well, she's an angel
Well, she's an angel and you're no good

[Verse 2]
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 all the looks you give
Well, that's something that you'd abhor
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, 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

[Chorus]
She's an angel
Well, she's an angel
Well, she's an angel and you're no good
She's an angel
Well, she's an angel
Well, she's an angel and you're no good

[Bridge]
She's a not a Barbie doll
Dragged around by some dog collar
You can't wrap love up in clingfilm
Keep it from getting older
She'll always be so heartless
You're artless, getting older
Don't try to come from behind
'Cause I'll be right over your shoulder

[Verse 3]
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, Iceland
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, she's 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 we all knew that you would

[Chorus]
She's an angel
Well, she's an angel
Well, she's an angel and you're no good
She's an angel
Well, she's an angel
Well, she's an angel and you're no good (Yeah)

[Outro]
Well, she's an angel and you're no good
