I wrote this song after I'd been to a bar and very politely declined to sit with some guys I'd never met before and they called me a bitch.
lyrics
When I was younger
People told me to be nice to everybody
Don't get involved in fights with anybody
But it's harder than it looks
But I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
To be a good girl
Be a good girl
So now I'm older
And I've tried not to change the way I talk to people
Or the things that I say
But it's hard to keep things simple
When they don't play the game
And they say and they say and they say and they say
Be a good girl
Be a good girl
But I've tried to be a good girl
And it's so hard to be a good girl
