Artist/Band: Lynn Anderson
Lyrics for Song: It Don't Do No Good to Be a Good Girl
Lyrics for Album: 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...


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

Lynn Anderson delivers a poignant country ballad on her 1972 Columbia album Listen to a Country Song. The track explores the complexities of female identity and the sacrifices often made in the pursuit of moral integrity. Anderson's signature vocal style, characterized by its clear tone and emotional depth, anchors the recording, which reflects the genre's focus on storytelling and personal struggle during the early 1970s. Released alongside hits like Okie from Muskogee, the song stands as a testament to her ability to convey nuanced human experiences through traditional country instrumentation and lyrical themes.
