A SCHOOL BOY'S CRUSH
HAS GOT THE BEST OF ME
NOW I'M HANGING
BY MY TEETH FROM A TREE
SHE TOOK WHAT I HAD
I PLAYED MY LOVE BLIND
I TOOK ALL OF THE REASON
OUT OF THE RHYME
WHY DID I GO
AND THROW IT ALL AWAY?
TOO MUCH DAMNED CONFUSION
I'M JUST NO GOOD, NO GOOD, NO GOOD
FOR NOBODY BUT MYSELF
I TOLD HER THAT MY LIFE
WAS REAL TOUGH AT THE TIME
SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE ONLY
WANTED TO EXPLORE THESE ARMS OF MINE
AS WE DANCED BY THE FIRE
SIPPED CRISTAL AS I TOLD HER BOUT MY LIFE
TOLD HER BOUT MY CHILDREN
EVEN TOLD HER BOUT MY WIFE
WHY DID I GO
AND THROW IT ALL AWAY?
TOO MUCH DAMNED CONFUSION
I'M JUST NO GOOD, NO GOOD, NO GOOD
FOR NOBODY BUT MYSELF
BREAK IT DOWN I GOT TO RAP TO 'EM Y'ALL
YOU SEE WE'D BEEN KICKING IT FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS
AND THINGS WERE REALLY GETTING OUT OF HAND
I WAS COMING HOME LATE AND RUNNING OUT OF EXCUSES
AND SHE'D BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR ME TO LEAVE MY WIFE
AND I'D BEEN STALLING TRYING TO HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
SO ONE NIGHT AFTER WORK WE WERE HAVING DINNER
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN
I COULD SEE THAT SHE HAD SOMETHING
SHE WANTED TO SAY TO ME
BUT THE WORDS SHE COULD NOT FIND
AND JUST AS SHE BEGAN TO MUMBLE ME THE WORDS THAT SHE HAD FOUND SOMEBODY ELSE AND THAT IT WAS OVER
OUT THE CORNER OF MY EYES I SAW MY WIFE
WALKING THROUGH THE DOOR
I WAS BUSTED AND LEFT WITH THE BILL
WHY DID I GO
AND THROW IT ALL AWAY?
TOO MUCH DAMNED CONFUSION
I'M JUST NO GOOD, NO GOOD, NO GOOD
FOR NOBODY BUT MYSELF
AS WE DANCED BY THE FIRE
WE SIPPED ON CRISTAL
NOBODY FOR NOBODY BUT MYSELF
FOR NOBODY BUT MYSELF
