Girl Gone Good
Kawehi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A pretty little girl like me
I get this, I get that
I get looked at, baby -
So you better be good to me
You could ask me still if my heart was filled
With any kind of feeling, any kind of heat
Cause travel makes a bad girl good
Good girl, stand still, I just wanna move on!
I've seen London, I've seen France
I've seen Paris, Rome, Florence
I don't think I'm fit for the domestic
'Cause travel makes a girl gone good
Travel makes this woman go-go
Good
You could say I'm afraid of the way I could age
A pretty little woman like me
I'll grow up, I'll get old
I'll be used and be sold and miss
The way you used to handle me
You could ask me still if my heart was filled
With any kind of feeling, any kind of heat
And I'll tell you still I get off on the uphill
'Cause travel makes a bad girl good
Good girl, stand still, I just wanna move on!
I've seen London, I've seen France
I've seen Paris, Rome, Florence
I don't think I'm fit for the domestic
'Cause travel makes a girl gone good
Travel makes this woman go-go
Good
I've seen rich men down here slumming it
I've seen poor girls raking in the dollar
Don't think I'm fit for domestication
Cause travel makes a girl gone good
Travel makes this woman go-go
Good
Good girl, you can do better
No stand still, feet like two anchors
Run uphill, make like the wind and just blow
So lovely, blindfolded living
Unlucky, just like the rest, girl
Please say no, swallow the red pill
And hit the ground running like so….
I've seen London, I've seen France
I've seen Paris, Rome, Florence
I don't think I'm fit for the domestic
'Cause travel makes a girl gone good
Travel makes this woman go-go
Good
I've seen L.A. and New York
I could keep counting
Sunrise and sunsets
In oceans and mountains
I don't think I'm fit for
domestication
Travel makes this girl gone good
I've seen London, I've seen France
I've seen Paris, Rome, Florence
I don't think I'm fit for the domestic
'Cause travel makes a girl gone good
Travel makes one go-go
Travel makes this woman go-go
Good
