baby ain't no good for me; i know that
she's no good for nothing; maybe so
the people say she's crazy
she's gonna drag me into the grave
but that's o.k. i still ain't lettin' go
because you add up the laughter in minutes and days
and they deal out the sorrow in lifetimes
and anytime anything gets in the way of the usual...
i'm gonna buy it

i'll buy it
i look around and what do i see'
a tragic laughable history
i'll buy it
i look at you and i look at me
we don't look no different

school's back in, but i'm still on vacation
i was never crazy about school
i'm over twenty-one, but i ain't lost none of the well-known alienation
i'm a problem child
don't tell me what to do

because the night's still young
and i'm still young
and she's even younger than i am
and anytime anything happens to cut through the usual...
she's gonna try it

and i go
baby i can't do this
you know it just ain't right
then she looks at me like that
and i'm doin' it all night

yeah this baby ain't no good for me; i know that
she's no good for nothing; maybe so
the people say she's crazy
she's gonna drag me into the grave
but that's o.k. i still ain't lettin' go
