It Don't Do No Good to Be a Good Girl

Lynn Anderson · Listen to a Country Song [Columbia] [1972]

(Liz Anderson)



I was rated G for goodness, I did everything I could, yes

Great example for the weaker sex

But I couldn't hold my baby, he sure didn't want no lady

He left me for someone rated X.



It don't do no good to be a a good girl

There ain't no rewards for goodness sake

I swear to you on my peroxide curles

It don't do no good to be a a good girl.



I sure took a long time knowin' how to keep my brains from showin'

That to play it smart you play it dumb

I don't wanna be no lady wanna be a wee bit'shady

Cause the shady ones have all the fun.



It don't do no good to be a a good girl

There ain't no rewards for goodness sake

I swear to you on my peroxide curles

It don't do no good to be a a good girl.



Heard it's said that one bad apple spoils it for the other apple

And I guess it's true there ain't no doubt

You can keep your sweet good apple I'd rather be that one bad apple

That's the apple that gets taken out.



It don't do no good to be a a good girl

There ain't no rewards for goodness sake

I swear to you on my peroxide curles

It don't do no good to be a a good girl.



It don't do no good to be a a good girl...
