there are worse things i could do

than go with a boy or two

even though the neighbourhood

thinks i'm trashy and no good

i suppose it could be true

but there are worse things i could do

i could flirt with all the guys

smile at them and bat my eyes

press against them when we dance

make them think they stand a chance

then refuse to see it through

thats a thing id never do

i could stay home every night

wait around for mr right

take cold showers every day

and throw my life away

on a dream that wont come true

i could hurt someone like me

out of spite or jealousy

i dont steal and i dont lie

but i can feel and i can cry

in fact i bet you never knew

but to cry in front of you

thats the worse thing

i could do
