Well, I never was good at bein' good I was never very kind And if I said you're the only one Well, baby I was lyin' And I never did take to holdin' 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 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 losin' man Much harder than you think You'll have to tear yourself away Before you both start to stink I'm in trouble again I'm in trouble again 'Cause ever since you left me, baby You should see the shape I'm in Many is the time I've lied awake Shiverin' in the cold black night Never is the time I tell myself "Hey, it's gonna be alright" And I wish I could've took to holdin' you The way a man should Ever since you left me, babe Well, I haven't been very good I'm in trouble again I'm in trouble again 'Cause ever since you left me baby You should see the shape I'm in
