Lyrics for No Good Man

No good man Loving on a no good plan never treats me as he should And that ain't good he's always bringing me down He's no saint Heaven knows that's what he ain't Spends his money foolishly and not on me I'm the one who gets the run around I ought to hate him but still I love him so 'Cause I require love that's made of fire And in his arms I find always get that kind No good man Ever since the world began there's been other folks like me Born to be in love with a no good man I ought to hate him but still I love him so 'Cause you see I require love that's made of fire And in his arms I find always get that kind No good man Ever since the world began there's been other folks like me Born to be in love with a no good man
