Well beware, my friend
For I am a shell of a man-
An insect's discarded exoskeleton
I am nothing compared to what I could have been
And I'll never be happy with the man that I am
Cause I'm no good for anyone
No, I'm no good for anyone
You take away my booze
You're gonna find out I'm not so fun
I'm no good for anyone
And you can tell my friends
I'm real sorry that I could not stay
Tell my mama it ain't her fault
I turned out this way
And I thank god that I have them
But I curse him that I was born
When I run from this house
With my apron strings torn, singin
I'm no good for anyone
No, I'm no good for anyone
And I wish to god that I was not your only son
I'm no good for anyone
And nothing gets any better
You just get used to living with the pain
And all those things you thought you might be
See them melt like the snow under rain
Under the soft spring rain
I'm no good for anyone
(take away my booze)
And I wish to god that I was not your only son
I'm no good for anyone
