In the style of a smooth blues piece, this song embodies the sense of despair in the wake of a broken relationship. The irregular rhythms of the hook portray this sense of chaotic desperation.
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Can't you see I'm shakin' in my shoes?
I've done everything, but I still got the blues
Everywhere I turn, there's misery
Stuck in the middle of a nowhere street
[Pre-Chorus]
Go away, come back, where you goin'?
Don't do that, do this, don't you blow it
Run, don't walk, shout, don't talk about it
You don't know anything about it
[Chorus]
It's no good, there's no way out (No way out)
A fine affair and there's no doubt (There's no doubt)
That there's no way out, no way out
[Verse 2]
She left some money in a paper sack
And a note to say she ain't coming back
[Chorus/Guitar Solo]
(I'm walkin') It's no good, there's no way out
A fine affair and there's no doubt
That there's no way out, no way out
[Verse 3]
They're coming at me from everywhere
They say she's already gone from here
[Pre-Chorus]
Go away, come back, where you goin'?
Don't do that, do this, don't you blow it
Run, don't walk, shout, don't talk about it
You don't know anything about it
[Chorus]
It's no good, there's no way out
A fine affair and there's no doubt
That there's no way out, no way out
[Outro]
No way out (No way out)
No way out (No way out)
No way out
No way out (No way out)
No way out (No way out)…
[Outro 2]
(It's no good, there's no way out)
(A fine affair and there's no doubt)…
