Mean Girl
Suburban Legends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You touch my lips you long to kiss
Though a lot of pain in my heart but you missed
Take a step back
Read the situation
You don't bother me no more
Got my heart locked tight in a safe
Where your sticky little fingers can't get it anymore
Cause you
Were such a mean girl to me
I keep you out at arm's reach
And now I know what's wrong with the world
Tellin' everybody don't ever trust a girl

Take a look at her face
All the money that she wastes
It's not worth my time or the pain
She'd find a thousand ways
Just to ruin every one of my good days
Baby girl's much worse then she knows
She's a demon at best with a kiss
And this demon's got me by the
Throat and I don't think she'll ever let it go

[2x]
Cause you
Were such a mean girl to me
I keep you out at arm's reach
And now I know what's wrong with the world
Tellin' everybody don't ever trust a girl

You always were my favorite mistake
That I almost never regret
Happiness can wait
And loving you has got me filled with hate
Sign sealed delivered I've got a little message for you

[2x]
Cause you
Such a mean girl to me
I keep you out at arm's reach
And now I know what's wrong with the world
Tellin' everybody don't ever trust a girl

Cause you
Such a mean girl to me (Such a mean girl)
I keep you out at arm's reach




And now I know what's wrong with the world (Tellin' everybody)
Tellin' everybody don't ever trust a girl
