i'm in trouble again

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
