You Know That I'm No Good
Tangled Tales of Regret: Wanda Jackson's Troubled Confession
Lyrics
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
Meeting at a bar, feeling hurt
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
Observing physical appearance, casual clothing
You say 'what did you do with him all day?'
Questioning partner's activities
And spitting me out like I was Tanqueray
Feeling rejected and treated poorly
'Cause you're my fella my guy
Expressing connection with the partner
Hand me your Stella and fly
Sharing a drink and departing
By the time I'm out the door
Encountering criticism after leaving
You tear me down like Roger Moore
Comparing criticism to Roger Moore's roles
I cheated myself
Acknowledging personal betrayal
Like I knew, I would
Admitting to a premeditated mistake
I told you I was trouble
Warning of troubled nature
You know that I'm no good
Affirming a problematic character
I'm upstairs with my ex boy
Being with an ex-boyfriend
He's at my place but I can't get joy
No joy with the current partner
Thinking of you but no one knows
Secretly thinking about someone else
This is when my buzzer goes
Interrupted by a visitor
Run out to meet you, chips and pitta
Quickly preparing to meet the visitor
You say 'when we married'
Referencing marriage without bitterness
'Cause you're not bitter
Expressing commitment to the current partner
There'll be none of him no more
Ending ties with the ex-boyfriend
I cried for you on the kitchen floor
Expressing emotional pain
I cheated myself
Acknowledging personal betrayal (repeated)
Like I knew, I would
Admitting to a premeditated mistake (repeated)
I told you I was trouble
Warning of troubled nature (repeated)
You know that I'm no good
Affirming a problematic character (repeated)
Sweet reunion Jamaica and Spain
Recalling a pleasant past in Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
Feeling a rekindling of the past
I'm in the tub, you're on the seat
Engaging in a private moment
Lick your lips as I soak my feet
Sensual moment interrupted by an injury
Then you notice a carpet burn
Discovering a physical sign of infidelity
My stomach drops and my guts churn
Feeling physical and emotional distress
You shrug and it's the worst
Downplaying the significance of the situation
Who really stuck the knife in first
Questioning who initiated the betrayal
I cheated myself
Acknowledging personal betrayal (repeated)
Like I knew, I would
Admitting to a premeditated mistake (repeated)
I told you I was trouble
Warning of troubled nature (repeated)
You know that I'm no good
Affirming a problematic character (repeated)
I cheated myself
Acknowledging personal betrayal (repeated)
Like I knew, I would
Admitting to a premeditated mistake (repeated)
I told you I was trouble
Warning of troubled nature (repeated)
Yeah you know that I'm no good
Affirming a problematic character (repeated)
I told you I was trouble
Warning of troubled nature (repeated)
Yeah you know that I'm no good
Affirming a problematic character (repeated)
