What it takes to be a good girl
To follow the rules, speak when spoken to
Respect authority, respect your elders
Just nod and smile
You'd be more beautiful if you smiled
Keep a clean home, put flowers everywhere
In every place that you feel shame
Ignore that man who stares at you everyday
And follows you,
He is just admiring your beauty
And you should be grateful
That he thinks you're beautiful
Because you're not perfect
You'll never be
Unless you read those magazines
Wax your eyebrows,
Take care of your nails
Stay in shape, don't eat that cake
Keep your hair straight and shiney
Brush your teeth
With charcoal every couple weeks
Don't drink coffee after breakfast
Your breath will stink
Be a good wife, a good mother
Be a good sister, aunt, daughter
People are counting on you
Don't you know, it's up to you
To support those around you
To keep this world together
Cause boys will be boys,
You gotta know
What it takes to be a good girl
