Good Girls by Sara Bareilles Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
(You want me) You want me
(To believe) To believe
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
(You want me) You want me
(To believe) To believe
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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?
[Outro]
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
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
(You want me) You want me
(To believe) To believe
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]

Dare you, live loud, dare you, oh
Good girls
