Melissa Etheridge - Miss California lyrics

rate me

Miss California what did I do wrong

It seems I've loved you

For just a little too long

You've gone and left me

For some preacher's way

Now you act like you never knew me

And you can't hear a word I say

Miss California did I get in your way

Did the neighbors warn you

What would happen some day

Like a love like mine

Was never good anyway

They said think about your reputation now

Before you get carried away

Don't you know what's good for me can be good for you

Don't you know what's good for me can be good for you

Don't you know what is good for you

Can be good for me too

Don't you know what's good for me can be good for you

Miss California was I a little too proud

I'm standing in the street now

And I'm screaming out loud

You try to shove me in your closet

With your skulls and your bones

I can be who I am you see

If I want to do it all alone

Yeah yeah yeah

Don't you know what's good for me can be good for you

Don't you know what is good for you

Can be good for me too

Don't you know what's good for me can be good for you

Your sweet seduction led me far from home

Your self-destruction gives me sticks and stones

Your propositions make me feel so cold

When the hand that's trying to hold me down

Is the one I'm trying to hold

I know the hand that's trying to hold me down

Is the one I'm trying to hold

I said the hand that's trying to force me back

Is the one that won't let me go

Miss California

Yeah yeah yeah

Miss California

Yeah yeah yeah

Miss California

Yeah yeah yeah

Miss California

Yeah yeah yeah

Ah huh

Yeah

You know what is good for me
