A Good Woman

I don't mind

I'd follow you into the gloom

If you asked me to

Tongues are tied

But I still whistle to your every tune

Read the signs

No, I'm not afraid to push through the haze

Only you will do

Oh, you're worth the time

Oh, I'm paying for my every mistake

But I know you want me to

Water's pouring down the sides

Dripping off the candle lights

I could tell you a million white lies

I could tell you I'd still be a good woman

I could fake it like all of the other times

But I swear that I'll still be a good woman

I can play fair, I promise to talk nice

And you know that I'll still be your good woman

Oh

Hold my hand

Oh, I'll take you somewhere we've never been

If you let me drive

Quite the man

Know I'll cater to your every dream

Cue the dutiful wife

Bite my tongue and grit my teeth

Bow my head so graciously

I could give you my million-dollar smile

I could tell you I'd still be a good woman

I can play any part that you design

I declare that I'll still be a good woman

Be in awe of your supercilious mind

And you know that I'll still be your good woman

Underneath the debonair and city noise

I'm no fool, I know where my derision lies

Wrap you up in cotton wool and sweet goodbyes

Hold you close and leave before the dawn arrives

I could tell you a million white lies

I could tell you I'd still be a good woman

I could fake it like all of the other times

But I swear that I'll still be a good woman

I can play fair, I promise to talk nice

And you know that I'll still be your good woman

I could give you my million-dollar smile

I could tell you I'd still be a good woman

I can play any part that you desire

I declare that I'll still be a good woman

Be in awe of your supercilious mind

And you know that I'll still be your good woman
