"It ain't that in their hearts they're bad. They comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health, They bury you when you go and die
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad, They'd stick by you if they could,
But that's just bullshit...People just ain't no good"

("People Ain't No Good", 1998)

Just running scared, each place we go

Corro sempre spaventato ovunque vada

So afraid, that he might show

Spaventato che si possa mostrare

Yeah, running scared, what would I do

Sì spaventato, cosa farei

If he came back and wanted you?

Se tornasse e ti volesse?

Just running scared, feeling low

Corro spaventato, mi sento giù

Running scared that you love him so

Spaventato che tu lo ami così tanto

Just running scared, afraid to lose

Spaventato di perdere

If he came back, which one would you choose?

Se tornasse, chi sceglieresti?

And then all at once, he was standing there

E tutt'a un tratto era lì,

So sure of himself, his head in the air

Così sicuro di se, la testa in aria

While my heart was breaking,

Mentre il mio cuore si spezzava,

which one would it be?

chi sarebbe stato?

Then you turned round and walked right out on me

Poi ti sei girata e hai camminato verso di me
