Lyrics

Good girl never do wrong, never gone too long

Portrays a 'good girl' image, abiding by societal norms, avoiding long absences.

Only take five for the smoke break

Taking brief breaks, potentially for smoking, within limits.

Good girl never lets on, even with a dress on

Maintaining a composed facade, even while wearing a dress.

Home by nine, never been late

Punctual and responsible, never arriving late at home.

Something to prove, with nothing to lose

Desire to prove oneself despite having nothing to risk.

It's easy to care when you're careless

It's effortless to care when one is carefree.

Don't go too far, you'll lose who you are

Warning against going too far as it might lead to losing one's identity.

It's harder to heal when you're damaged

Healing becomes tougher when one is already damaged.


Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Repeated emphasis on the need for disclosure or conversation.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

-

Tell me about the sleep that you been losing

Asking for details about sleeplessness, using boys, and rejecting love.

Tell me about the boys that you been using

-

Tell me about the love you been refusing

-

You know that if you hold all that shit in,

Highlighting the repercussions of internalizing emotions.

In the end it's just gonna be worse, it's gonna be worse (hey)

-

I don't want you hurt (hey)

Expressing concern and not wanting the person to get hurt.


Good girl but you messed up when you pulled your dress up

Indicating a mistake made and the irrevocable loss resulting from it.

Lost what you never gon' get back

-

Feeling under pressure, never gonna measure up

-

To the innocence you once had

-

Sip a little something, pop one or two

Turning to substances won't evade problems that pursue.

No point in running when it's chasing you, when it's chasing you

-

So what you gonna do, oh

Pondering on what action should be taken in this situation.


Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me (how you gonna deal with that?)

Reiterating the importance of sharing and discussing the situation.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me (you know you can talk to me)

-

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me (how you gonna deal with that?)

-

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

-

Tell me about the sleep that you been losing

Repetition seeking details about sleep, boys, and love refusal.

Tell me about the boys that you been using

-

Tell me about the love you been refusing

-

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

-

Tell me about the sleep that you been losing

Continued insistence on divulging information or feelings.

Tell me about the boys that you been using

-

Tell me about the love you been refusing

-

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
