People Ain’t No Good Lyrics

[Intro]
La la la la
La la la

[Verse 1]
You know good, you know good
You know good and well it's true
They never do what you want 'em too
Cause people ain't no good

[Verse 2]
Oh no, they're no good on weekends
When they come out to play
And they're no good for bookends
Cause you can't make 'em stay

[Chorus]
Hey, people ain't no good
Oh, people ain't no good
Oh, they never do what I think they should
So people ain't no good

[Verse 3]
Yeah, people are just a waste
Oh, they're all over the place
Yeah, you see 'em everywhere you go
And I don't like their face
[Verse 4]
And people don't like me, either
Why I sure don't know
But even a jerk like you could see
It's obviously so

[Chorus]
So people ain't no good
Oh no, people ain't no good
Oh no, they never do what I think they should
No, people ain't no good at all, hey!

[Solo]

[Verse 5]
They always get some smile
They always stand like this
They always tell you who is what
Well what I say is this

[Chorus]
People ain't no good
Oh no, no, people ain't no good
They never do what I think they should
No, people ain't no good at all, sing it children!
[Outro]
(People ain't no good
People ain't no good
They never do what you thinks they should
So people ain't no good)

(People ain't no good)
(People ain't no good)
(People ain't no good)
(People ain't no good)
(People ain't no good)
(People ain't no good)
(People ain't no good)
(People ain't no good)
(People ain't no good)
[Lux's rambling in the outro still needs transcribing]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
