Sara Bareilles - Good Girls lyrics

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 and untamed
On the 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
Hear what I heard you say

(You want me) You want me
(To believe) To believe

That if you wanna stick around
You better settle down stay in one place
Don’t you mess around
And 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
'til what you want I need
Bind my feet, cut my hair
Tell me who you think I should be
Gotten used to thin air
But someday you’re gonna see me

(You want me) You want me
(To believe) To believe

That if you wanna stick around
You better settle down stay in one place
Don’t you mess around
And wear a little blush on your face
And 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
And you smile as you say finally
I know what you need, yeah
You are the same thing, so scared of changing
You’re the good girl, what does that mean?
You’re the good girl, what does that mean?

Dare you, be strong, dare you
Dare you, live long, dare you
Dare you, be proud, dare you
Dare you, live loud, dare you, oh good girls
Good girls
