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
|

You're No Good
