Olivia Rodrigo Lyrics

Naive Girl

♫

My whole life I've tried to be kind
But what does kindness mean?
I've changed myself to help you
But how does that help me?
My education is built upon
Some 20th century daydream
I'm beginning to learn, despite the facade
That people are not always as pretty as they seem

Little naive girl
Isn't so naive anymore
Little naive girl
Learned not to go knocking down on death's door
Little naive girl
She grew up and now she's strong as hell
Little naive girl
Now knows she should be treated well

Unconditional love
Is what I gave
No condition could ever drive me away, oh
You held me down while I clung to you
You said I'd never get out, and I trusted you
But in troubled water, you learn to sink or swim

Little naive girl
Isn't so naive anymore
Little naive girl
Learned not to go knocking down on death's door
Little naive girl
She grew up and now she's strong as hell
Little naive girl
Now knows she should be treated well

Oh, no more one-sided compromises
I'm shiny but I'm not one of your prizes
You think you can use me?
Give it a while, even a fool knows better than to mess with this
Naive girl

A little naive girl
Isn't so naive anymore
Naive girl
Learned not to go knocking down on death's door
Little naive girl
She grew up and now she's strong as hell
Little naive girl
Now knows she should be treated well

I know I should be treated well, oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
