Good for Nothing Blues

(Kris Kristofferson)



I wash my face in funky water, pick my teeth with a rusty spoke

Hide your dishes and your daughters anything that might get broke

I prefer your condemnation to your suckin' sympathy

Baby good for nothing's good enough for me.



I was born without a daddy and the gutter was my home

And when momma died the only thing she left me was alone

There ain't nothin' in the world that I ain't fool enough to try

I'm hard to hurt and too damn mean to die.



I wash my face in funky water, pick my teeth with a rusty spoke

Hide your dishes and your daughters anything that might get broke

I prefer your condemnation to your suckin' sympathy

Baby good for nothing's good enough for me.

Yeah I don't need nobody girl I get by by myself

And you sure don't need me more than you don't need nobody else

Cause unless you need a hurtin' place where your heart used to be

Darling you don't want no part of me.



I wash my face in funky water, pick my teeth with a rusty spoke

Hide your dishes and your daughters anything that might get broke

I prefer your condemnation to your suckin' sympathy

Baby good for nothing's good enough for me.



I prefer your condemnation to your suckin' sympathy

Baby good for nothing's good enough for me...
