The "Too Good" Girl

The "Too Good" Girl

Now, let's disagree

in the game we're playing,

"You're too good for me..."

is just another way of saying:

I want to get rid of you

but I don't know how

you didn't do anything wrong

- maybe because of that -

I don't want to be the bad guy

I don't want to be there

when you try for me and cry

confused, in despair

I want you to leave

and feel like you've done

something for yourself

- left me in the dust -

I don't want to feel bad

about leaving you alone

so please, get mad

I'm bad to the bone 

I can't push you away

so be nice and do it for me

once again, be that good girl

- leave silently and gently -

Too good - what a thought -

Let's burry that little treasure

In the ground - let her rot -

Until we can measure

*     *     *

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts...
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie...
