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
