  • Do I know you, 'cause there you are
    Trust me, I'm not like any girl
    At this bar
    You can keep talkin' a mile a minute
    And I can still see my life
    Without you in it
    So don't (don't), don't ya start cryin'
    Don't (don't), at least I'm not lyin'
    I'm shootin' you straight,
    Straight from the hip
    Don't waste your time,
    Just read my lips
    Sh

    [Chorus]
    I don't think you heard me correctly
    I'm no good for you baby
    I can't say this more directly
    I'm no good for you baby
    I'm no good (she's no good)
    I'm no good (she's no good)
    I told you, I told you,
    Proceed with care
    Baby, oh baby, you better beware
    I don't wanna lead you on
    I'm no good for ya baby
    I'm no good (no good)
    I'm no good (no good)

    I'll shake my junk to make
    Other boys stare
    And I'll pretend you're not
    Even standing there
    I can drink whiskey like it's
    Going outta style
    And you can wait for me to change
    But you'll be waitin' quite awhile
    So don't (don't), call me devil woman
    Don't (don't), think you'll be
    Gettin' any lovin'

    I'm reckless, and restless,
    I don't clean my mess up
    I'm tryin' to be nice, it's not often
    That I fess up
    Sh

    [Chorus]

    I ain't looking for Mr. Right, ain't
    Looking for Mr. Right now
    You can say what you think, I wanna
    Hear but it won't help you anyhow

    [Chorus]
