'Cause even in the morning light you looked so fine
And in the nightime, well, you know
But then, your daddy come and says

I'm no good, no good
No good for you right now
No good, no good
No good at all

I'm no good, no good
Hear the policeman call
No good, no good
No good right now

I don't know how long I've loved you
But I tell you baby, it's been too long
I couldn't stand another day without you, lord
And that's why I sing this song
'Cause even in the morning light you looked so fine
And in the daytime, well, you know
But then, your daddy come and says

I'm no good, no good
No good for you right now
No good, no good
No good at all

Well, let me tell you, I'm no good, no good
Hear the policeman call
No good, no good
No good right now

Well, I've been living in a fever
And it's been dragging me, and pushing me and dragging me along
It could be this, or that, or neither, yeah
And baby, I just run along
But even in the morning light you look so fine
And in the daytime, well, you know
But then, your daddy come and says
I'm no good, no good (babe, babe, babe)

No good for you at all
No good, no good
No good right now

Well, let me tell you, I'm no good, no good
Hear the policeman call
No good, no good
No good right now, yeah
No good, no good
No good for you at all

I'm no good, no good
No good right now (baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
No good, no good, yeah

Hear the policeman call (yeah, yeah, yeah)
No good, no good
No good right now
