Lyrics

Hey, good girl (hey, good girl)With your head in the cloudsI bet you I can tell you, what you’re thinkin’ aboutYou’ll see a good boy (you see a good boy)Gonna give you the worldBut he’s gonna leave you cryin’With your heart in the dirt
His lips are dripping honeyBut he’ll sting you like a beeSo lock up all your lovingGo and throw away the key
Hey, good girl (hey, good girl)Get out while you canI know you think you got a good man
Why, why you gotta be so blind?Won’t you open up your eyes?It’s just a matter of time ’til you findHe’s no good, girlNo good for youYou better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, goBetter listen to me, he’s low, low, low
Hey, good girl (hey, good girl)You got a heart of goldYou want a white weddingAnd a hand you can holdJust like you should, girl (just like you should, girl)Like every good girl doesWant a fairytale ending, somebody to love
But he’s really good at lyingYeah, he’ll leave you in the dust‘Cause when he says foreverWell, it don’t mean much
Hey, good girl (hey, good girl)So good for himBetter back away honeyYou don’t know where he’s been
Why, why you gotta be so blind?Won’t you open up your eyes?It’s just a matter of time ’til you findHe’s no good, girlNo good for youYou better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, goYeah yeah yeah, he’s low…Yeah yeah yeah…
Oh, he’s no good, girlWhy can’t you see?He’ll take your heart and break itListen to me, yeah
Why, why you gotta be so blind?Won’t you open up your eyes?It’s just a matter of time ’til you findHe’s no good, he’s no good
Won’t you open up your eyes?It’s just a matter of time ’til you findHe’s no good, girlNo good for youYou better get to getting on your goodbye shoes
