Good Girl, Bad World - John Hiatt

Put your make up on

Though your face is long

Clothes that fit you wrong

What’s wrong with you

Last night’s Romeo

He just had to go

I don’t wanna know

What else is new?

Good girl bad world

Didn’t you say

Good girl, bad world

Can’t get away

From boys who unfurl

Flags that don’t pay

You’re a good girl in a bad world

I’ll take her

Now come out to play

They just want to kiss

You just want to miss

Sometimes I think you wish you were a boy

Then you could stand around, act just like a clown

Put those good girls down

Like they were toys

Look in the mirror

Where nothing comes clearer and start to cry

Start to cry

Look in the mirror

Where nothing comes clearer and I know why

I know why

I know why

I know why

Good girl bad world

Didn’t you say

Good girl, bad world

Can’t get away

From boys who unfurl

Flags that don’t pay

You’re a good girl in a bad world

I’ll take her

Now come out to play
