There Are Worse Things I Could Do

There are worse things I could do

Than go with a boy or two

Even though the neighborhood 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

That's a thing I'd 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 won't come true.



I could hurt someone like me

Out of spite and jealousy

I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry

A fact I'll bet you never knew...

But to cry in front of you...

That's the worst thing I could do.
