Bessie Smith - Dirty No-Gooder's Blues lyrics

Did you ever fall in love with a man that was no good? Did you ever fall in love with a man that was no good? No matter what you did for him, he never understood The meanest thing he could say would thrill you through and through The meanest thing he could say would thrill you through and through And there wasn't nothin' too dirty for that man to do He'd treat you nice and kind till he win your heart and hand He'd treat you nice and kind till he win your heart and hand Then he git so cruel that man, you just could not stand Lawd, I really don't think no man's love can last Lawd, I don't think no man's love can last They'll love you to d**h then treat you like a thing of the past There's nineteen men livin' in my neighborhood There's nineteen men livin' in my neighborhood Eighteen of them are fools and the one ain't no doggone good Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd That dirty no-good man treats me just like I'm a dog
