Today it occurred to me

a Good Girl I'll never be

Pretty, tan, blonde, thin

Don't you know beauty comes from within

Good Girls always say yes, never say no

Always go where they're wanted to go 

Never get to be their own person

They don't go a cursin'

A Good Girl is expected of me

But a Good Girl I'll never be

Always look young, never look old

Good Girls always do what they're told

Never speak unless spoken to 

They're just a token to 

the guy whose eye they have caught

Good Girls only do what they're taught

Never slouch, never frown

Always wear their crown

Posture and manners are key

It's expected of me 

But a Good Girl I'll never be
