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
