John Wesley Harding - You're No Good lyrics

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

She's an angel and you're no good
