Southern Belle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Killing a southern belle is all you know how to do
That and give other people hell
It's what they expect from you too
But i wouldn't have you how you want
I don't wanna walk around
I don't even want to breathe
I live in a southern town
Where all you can do is grit your teeth
But i wouldn't have you how you want
How come you're not ashamed of what you are?
And sorry that you're the one she got?
Ain't nobody talking now
Nobody nothing's said
No one's about to shout
Nobody's seen red
But i wouldn't have you how you want
You're killing a southern belle
Killing a southern belle
Killing a southern belle
