Good Girl ;)

Good Girl

Verse 1

They like me quiet, they like me sweet,

Soft little smile and careful speech.

I say "it's fine," I let things slide,

So they don't see what's on my mind.

They call me patient, call me kind,

Think they can read me every time.

I let them talk, I let them guess—

Funny how wrong they get it best.

Pre-Chorus

I learned to keep my cards down low,

Give them the girl they think they know.

But there's a side I never show—

Maybe it's time you ought to know.

Chorus

Good girl, good girl—

That's the story that you tell.

Good girl, good girl—

You don't know me half as well.

Sweet enough to fool you,

Smart enough to play along,

You thought I was your angel—

Baby, you were wrong.

Good girl, good girl—

Keep believing if you want.

I'm the one you underestimated,

And I'm everything you're not.

You can call me innocent,

You can paint me in your world—

But don't mistake my silence for a good girl.

Verse 2

I know exactly when to smile,

I've been watching all the while.

I know when to speak, when to disappear,

I know what you want me to hear.

Obedient? Maybe on your screen,

But you don't know what I really mean.

I've got my own rules, my own plans,

You just never thought I'd take a stand.

Pre-Chorus

I learned to keep my cards down low,

Give them the girl they think they know.

But every mask has got a seam—

And I'm done protecting your little dream.

Chorus

Good girl, good girl—

That's the story that you tell.

Good girl, good girl—

You don't know me half as well.

Sweet enough to fool you,

Smart enough to play along,

You thought I was your angel—

Baby, you were wrong.

Good girl, good girl—

Keep believing if you want.

I'm the one you underestimated,

And I'm everything you're not.

You can call me innocent,

You can paint me in your world—

But don't mistake my silence for a good girl.

Bridge

I wasn't hiding—

You just never looked.

You saw the cover,

Never read the book.

So keep your labels,

Keep your little words.

I'll be the sweetest plot twist

You never saw coming first.

Final Chorus

Good girl, good girl—

Say it louder, say it well.

Good girl, good girl—

I'm the secret you can't tell.

Sweet enough to fool you,

Wild enough to prove you wrong,

You thought you knew my story—

Baby, you were wrong.

Good girl, good girl—

Now you finally know the world:

I was never what you made me,

I just let you see that girl.

So call me innocent,

Call me sweet, call me what you will—

I'm a good girl...

Just not the one you think...
