What makes a good girl?
What makes a good girl?
What makes mummy glad?
Way does daddy disapprove?
What makes me bad?
What makes a good boy?
What makes me wrong?
When do I fit with you?
Fit where I belong?
What makes a good girl?
What makes mummy glad?
Is it a girl that's tied to her books?
Is it a girl with upper class looks?
Is it a girl who knows her grace?
Is it a girl "put in her place"?
Is it a girl who'll never question why?
Is it a girl so unlike I?
Way does daddy disapprove?
What makes me bad?
Is it the draw I smoke?
Is it the beer I drink?
Is it the fights I cause?
Is it the thoughts I think?
Is it the hearts I take and break?
Or is it the mistakes that I make?
Is it the way I speak my mind?
Is it because I'm one of a kind?
Am I a bad girl?
Is that why you shake your head?
Is that why when I meet your parents,
You shy and turn bright red?
Is that why I make you smile?
With your mouth and with your eyes?
Is that why you trust me?
And believe I'll tell you no lies
I know I do some things that you disapprove of
I know we've been brought up
Two very different ways
I know we've been two different paths
And lived such different days
But I know you know there's more to me
When you look in my eyes
It's not 100% bad you see
Mummy and daddy might say I'm wrong
And so you may be forced to hear it
But if you don't believe it
Why should we endear it?
