I never was good at being good I was never very kind And if I said you're the only one Well, baby, I was lying And I never did take to holding you The way a man should Ever since you left me, babe Well, I ain't been very good I'm in trouble again I'm in trouble again Ever since you left me, baby You should see the shape I'm in I think about the times you held me up And kept me on my feet Haven't really sunk this low I don't give a damn about me It's hard to love a losing man Much harder than you think You have to tear yourself away Before you both start to stink I'm in trouble again I'm in trouble again Ever since you left me, baby You should see the shape I'm in Many is the time I lied awake Shivering in the cold black night Never is the time I tell myself Hey, it's gonna be all right And I wish I could've took to holding you The way a man should Ever since you left me, baby Well, I ain't been very good I'm in trouble again I'm in trouble again Ever since you left me, baby You should see the shape I'm in
