I’m a good girl They say I do my homework and floss my teeth I say my prayers and mind my manners To them, mistakes aren’t part of the package Crying is a weakness Anger is a default Perfection is mandatory There are no excuses Blame natural selection I’m a good girl They say A perfect one in fact I eat my vegetables I obey my parents I suppose it’s only sensible I’m a good girl They say Compassion, respect, and intelligence Everything made of sugar and spice Came with the package And there is no bargain price No you can’t roll the dice There is no such thing Unfortunately it’s a sacrifice But do you think I can tell them It’s been killing me to say I’m scared of the outcome But I believe this package was delivered To the wrong address
