Bad Bad Women – Damhnait Doyle Lyrics
I know it sounds foolish coming out of my mouth
Convincing myself it’s the end of the drought
It left me wasted, I’m half way whole
Blaming myself for something someone else stole
I kept my head down, kept running the track
Like a horse that’s been broken and afraid to go back
To the sun and the wind and the earth underfoot
Yeah, to get those things you have to be good
But I’m not your good girl
History remembers all the bad bad women
Who don’t do what they’re told
Behaving yourself never leads to winning
I let the mask drop right on the floor
I couldn’t pick it up, I couldn’t bend anymore
It didn’t break, it solidified, two inches thick
A perfect match for my eyes
But I’m not your good girl
History remembers all the bad bad women
Who don’t do what they’re told
Behaving yourself never leads to winning
When the thing you wanted
Scares you half to death
And the doubt seeps in, creeps into your head
And the loneliness fills you with dread
When your feet don’t move
Cause they’re cased in cement
Take all the fear, turn it to courage
Take all that rage and teach it to flourish
Put your face up to the sun
Don’t lay down, just run run run on
I’m not your good girl
History remembers all the bad bad women
Who don’t do what they’re told
Behaving yourself never leads to winning
I’m not your good girl
History remembers all the bad bad women
Who don’t do what they’re told
Behaving yourself never leads to winning
Behaving yourself
Behaving yourself
Yeah, yeah
Never leads to winning
It never leads to winning
Not for bad bad women
