Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You liked me better when I kept my mouth shut
Smiled real pretty and didn't ask much
Said "yes sir" when you wanted me to
Made myself smaller so I fit next to you
You picked my clothes
You picked my friends
You even thought you'd get to pick how this ends
Well, honey, there's something
You forgot to learn:
You don't own a woman
Just because she loves you first
[Pre-Chorus]
I spent too many years
Trying to be what you wanted
Now I'm standing right here
And I ain't apologizing for it
[Chorus]
I ain't your good girl
I ain't your little saint
I ain't gonna sit here
And pretend that I can't
I got fire in my blood
And a little hell in my heart
You should've known better
Right from the start
I ain't your good girl
And I never was
[Verse 2]
You called me difficult
You called me mean
Said I was changing
Like that was a bad thing
Funny how "crazy"
Means "won't obey"
When the person saying it
Is losing their say
You thought I'd come running
Every time you called
Thought I'd keep crawling
Every time I fell
But I learned something
You never expected:
I can walk away
And sleep just fine
[Pre-Chorus]
So keep your rules
Keep your little throne
Keep telling yourself
You made me who I am
Because the truth is:
I became myself
When I left you alone
[Chorus]
I ain't your good girl
I ain't your little saint
I ain't gonna sit here
And pretend that I can't
I got fire in my blood
And a little hell in my heart
You should've known better
Right from the start
I ain't your good girl
And I never was
[Bridge]
You wanted quiet.
You got a voice.
You wanted obedience.
I made a choice.
You wanted somebody
You could control.
You should've looked somewhere else.
Because I was never yours.
[Breakdown]
Not your girl!
Not your rules!
Not your puppet!
Not your fool!
You don't get to tell me
Who I'm supposed to be!
You wanted your good girl...
You got ME!
[Final Chorus]
I ain't your good girl
I ain't your little saint
I ain't gonna live
By somebody else's chains
I got fire in my blood
And a little hell in my heart
You should've known better
Right from the start
I ain't your good girl
I ain't your good girl
And that's the best thing
You ever taught me.
