Never Any Good Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

I was never any good at loving you
I was never any good
At coming through for you
You′re going to feel much better
When you cut me loose forever
I was never any good
I was never any good
Never any good at loving you

I was dying when we met
I bet my life on you
But you called me and I folded
Like you knew I'd do
You called my ace, my king, my bluff
Okay, you win, enough′s enough
I was never any good
Never any good
I was never any good at loving you


I was pretty good at taking out the garbage
Pretty good at holding up the wall
Dealing with the fire and the earthquake
But that don't count
That don't count (that don′t count)
That don′t count
That don't count (that don′t count)
That don't count for nothing much at all

I was never any good at loving you
I was just some kind of tourist in your bed
Looking at the view
But I can′t forget
Where my lips have been
Those holy hills, that deep ravine
I was never any good (never)
I was never any good (never)
Never any good at loving you

I was pretty good at taking out the garbage
I was pretty good at holding up the wall
I'm sorry for my crimes against the moonlight
I didn′t think
I didn't think (I didn't think)
I didn′t think
I didn′t think (I didn't think)
I just didn′t think the moon would mind at all


I was never any good at loving you
At doing what a woman
Really wants a man to do
You're gonna feel much better
When you cut me loose forever
I was never any good (never)
Never any good (never)
I was never any good at loving you
