Good Girl Lyrics

When you were a little girl
I had dreams and I had plans for you
As a single father I knew
There was gonna be turbulance
Along the way
I did not know that so soon
I' d have to stand on the side
Watch you go through life
Without my guidance you see
I wanted to be there when you cry
I wanted to be there when you smile
I wanted to be there when you play
I wanted to be there all your life
I would say it' s wrong
She' d say it' s right
Words got spoken since
I live in a glass house
I didn't want no stones to be thrown
I didn't want no blows to be thrown
But I would hate to see my...

[Chorus:]
Good girl go bad
Good girl go bad

The games we played
The rhymes you taught me
Everything we did together
Those were the best days of my life
I will always remember
The little girl you were once
I wanted to be there when you cry
I wanted to be there when you smile
I wanted to be there when you play
I wanted to be there all your life
I would say it' s right
She' d say it' s wrong
I would say it' s wrong
She' d say it' s right
Words got spoken since
I live in a glass house
I didn't want no stones to be thrown
I didn't want no blows to be thrown
But I would hate to see my...

[Chorus:]
Good girl go bad
Good girl go bad

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
