Sonic Youth Little Trouble Girl

If you want me to,
I will be the one that is always good, and you'll love me, too.
But you'll never know what I feel inside, that I'm really bad,
Little trouble girl...

Remember, mother?
We were close.
Very, very close.
You taught me how to feel good,
Flirt and laugh, be understood.
Curl my hair and eyelash,
Pinch my cheeks and do my lips.
Swing my hips just like you.
Smile and behave.
A circle of perfection, it's what you gave.
Then one day, I met a guy.
He stole my heart, no alibi.
He said "Romance is a ticket to paradise".
Mama, I'm not too young to try.
We kissed, we hugged.
We were close.
Very, very close.
We danced in the sand, and the water rose,
Higher and higher until I found myself floating in the sky.
I'm sorry, Mother, I'd rather fight than have to lie.

If you want me to,
I will be the one that is always good, and you'll love me, too.
But you'll never know what I feel inside, that I'm really bad,
Little trouble girl... [backup vocals repeat x10]

Cross my heart and hope to die,
I cannot tell a lie.
