Lyrics[]

But now after loving you, what else is there to do

For honey, all the rest is just gonna have to be second best

I know I'll go through life comparing her to you

That's 'cause I'm no good, I'm no good to anyone after loving you


Your precious love cannot be erased by just another woman with a pretty face

And your memory, you know it will remain for it cannot be erased

Other loves may come along, they can't live up to you

That's 'cause I'm no good, I'm no good to anyone after loving you


Your precious love cannot be erased by just another woman with a pretty face

And your memory, you know it will remain for it cannot be erased

Other loves may come along, they can't live up to you

That's 'cause I'm no good, I'm no good to anyone after loving you


I said I'm no good, I'm no good to anyone after loving you

I said I'm no good, I'm no good, I'm no good to anyone

To anyone, to anyone, to anyone after loving you

That's 'cause I'm no good, I'm no good to anyone after loving you
