You're No Good
Breaking Free: Unveiling the Emotion Behind Ellie Campbell's 'You're No Good'
Lyrics
say it again
Say the words again
say it again
Repetition, emphasizing the statement
no no
Denial or disagreement
say it again
Repetition, reinforcing the message
say it again
-say it again
-say it again
-feelin better
Expressing relief and moving on after a breakup
now that we're through
-feelin better
-cause i'm over you
-i've learned my lesson, it left a scar
Reflecting on a past relationship that caused pain
and now i see how you really are
-you're no good, you're no good
Stating that the person is not good for the speaker
you're no good, oh baby you're no good
-(i'm gonna say it again)
-you're no good, you're no good
-you're no good, oh baby you're no good
-say it again
Reiterating the message
say it again
-broke a heart
Describing breaking someone's heart for the wrong person
that's gentle and true
-i left a boy
-for someone like you
-i begged his forgiveness on bended knee
Seeking forgiveness but understanding the difficulty of receiving it
but i wouldn't blame him if he said to me
-you're no good, is no good
Reaffirming that the person is not good for the speaker
is no good, oh baby is no good
-(i'm gonna say it again)
-is no good, is no good
-is no good, oh baby is no good
-no good
Repetition, emphasizing the negative qualities
say it again
-say it again
-say it again
-say it again
-if he'll have me we'll start anew
Expressing the desire to start anew with someone else
it'll be easy forgetting you
-you're no good, you're no good
Reiterating the message that the person is not good
you're no good, oh baby you're no good
-(i'm gonna say it aloud)
-you're no good, you're no good
-you're no good, oh baby you're no good
-say it again
Repetition for emphasis
say it again
-i'm warning you now baby
Warning about leaving and moving on
and i'm going away
-forget about you baby
-i'm a-leaving to stay
-i'm no good, you're no good
Admitting personal flaws while still asserting the other person's lack of goodness
you're no good, oh baby you're no good

Repeatedly emphasizing the person's lack of goodness
