[Chorus]
I wash my Gface in funky water pick my Dteeth with a rusty spoke
Hide your Ddishes and your daughters anyGthing that might get broke
I Gprefer your condemnation to your Csuckin' C/BsympaAmthy
Baby Ggood for nothing's Dgood enough for Gme
[Verse 1]
I was Gborn without a daddy and the Dgutter was my home
And when Dmomma died the only thing she Gleft me was alone
GThere ain't nothin' in the world that I ain't Cfool eC/Bnough to Amtry
I'm Ghard to hurt and Dtoo damn mean to Gdie
[Chorus]
I wash my Gface in funky water pick my Dteeth with a rusty spoke
Hide your Ddishes and your daughters anyGthing that might get broke
I Gprefer your condemnation to your Csuckin' C/BsympaAmthy
Baby Ggood for nothing's Dgood enough for Gme
[Verse 2]
I says GI don't need nobody girl I gDet by by myself
And you sDure don't need me more than yoGu don't need nobody else
GCause unless you need a hurtin' place where youCr hearC/Bt used to Ambe
GDarling you don't Dwant no part of Gme
[Chorus]
I wash my Gface in funky water pick my Dteeth with a rusty spoke
Hide your Ddishes and your daughters anyGthing that might get broke
I Gprefer your condemnation to your Csuckin' C/BsympaAmthy
Baby Ggood for nothing's Dgood enough for Gme
Baby Ggood for nothing's Dgood enough for Gme
