I am told good girls like me


Don't do the whole jealousy routine,


That benevolent smile stretching our lips


Is less painful than envy.


I finally get it


When I fall for him


And am not even spared a glance


'Cause he doesn't do good girls, darling,


Hot messed up babes is what he wants.


I am not supposed to wonder if


My skirts were short and my hair blue,


Cigarette pressed between my lips


Would he say, I love you too?


I don't let him go like I am supposed to,


I chase and chase till I wear him down,


Pull him to me like he's the only truth,


And in his taste,


I finally drown....
