Good Girls

Little girl, little town, little left to say
Hard enough to get out, much less get away
Speak your mind if you dare to be heard
I warn you I'm very daring with words
I was wild, entertained, on a hunt for myself
Got your claws in my mane
As if I need help
Made my mask, made my dress
Did your best to make me
You came first, now at last
Get what I heard you say
You want me to be believe that if you want to stick around
you better settle down, stay in one place,
don't you mess around, & Wear a little blush on your face
Be a good girl, good girls are what we need
Wear it if you can, take it like a man
Remember your place, get your diamond ring, don't say a thing
A lady has grace, and good girls, good girls are what we need
Well get your good girls and get the hell away from me
Stake your claim, your possession, all over me
Make your aim my obsession, to what you want I need
Bind my feet, cut my hair
Tell me who you think I should be
Gotten used to thin air
Someday you're gonna see me
You want me to believe that if you want to stick around
You better settle down,stay in one place,
Don't you mess around & were a little blush on your face
Be a good girl,good girls are what we need
Wear it if you can,take it like a man
Remember your place,get your diamond ring,don't say a thing
A lady has grace,and good girls,good girls are what we need
Well get your good girls and get the hell away from me
Whisper to me, just wait and you will see
Things are changing so quickly
I give up, I give out, and I'm down on my knees
You smile as you say finally, and I know what you mean
You are the same thing, just give it changing
You're the good girl, what does that mean?
Dare you be strong,dare you
Dare you live long,dare you
Dare you to be proud,dare you
Dare you live loud,dare you
