Court Yard Hounds - Well Behaved lyrics

rate me

(bonus track on iTunes Deluxe Edition)

I wanna do it

My, but it's trouble every day

And a battle of the wills gets you down

And you don't wanna fight

But it's hard to walk away

When a shadow of the good girl gets you bound

Baby, well behaved never lasts for long

You pull away and we've all heard the same old song

Where he ties you down, he doesn't want you strong

If he wants you well behaved, your love won't last for long

So you think you've learned your lesson

And you finally get away

And a boy with good intentions steals your heart

But you make him ask permission

Like when a child goes out to play

In a battle for attention, you start

But baby, well behaved never lasts for long

You pull away and we've all heard the same old song

Where you tie him down, you don't want him strong

If you want him well behaved, your love won't last for long

Baby, well behaved never lasts for long

You pull away and we've all heard the same old song

Where he ties you down, he doesn't want you strong

If he wants you well behaved, your love won't last for long

Your love won't last for long

Won't last for long

Won't last for long
