I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)

I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) (Nicolaas Remix)

Everybody thinks that I'm a good girl
Like it's written all over my face
Lately I just haven't seen that good girl
Like she vanished without a trace

I think it was right about the time that I started feeling finished with you
And how you made me feel about me
Now I can understand how not a single word you told me was true
Cause according to you

All you wanted was a good girl
And I was always disappointing you
I was always hopelessly hungover, crying on your shoulder
And taking up too much goddamn room
Well I'm finished now with nice guys
I want a bad boy with a heart of gold
I want someone cool not condescending, passion never-ending
I don't wanna do what I'm told just like a good girl

I think I'm finished crying in the shower
Like some 90s music video
Think I wasted way too many hours, think I'm hungrier for power
Think the pity party's over, think it's time to go home

And I don't know where you're going but I know I'm not going with you
It's been a bad dream, now I'm waking up
And I don't have to wonder whether you and all your friends would approve
I got nothing to lose

All you wanted was a good girl
And I was always disappointing you
I was always hopelessly hungover, crying on your shoulder
And taking up too much goddamn room
Well I'm finished now with nice guys
I want a bad boy with a heart of gold
I want someone cool not condescending, passion never-ending
I don't wanna do what I'm told just like a good girl

The girl you're looking for does not exist
The boy I thought you were, he will be missed

All you wanted was a good girl
And I was always disappointing you
I was always hopelessly hungover, crying on your shoulder
And taking up too much room

Yeah I know you want a good girl
But unfortunately for you
There's nobody free of imperfections, no squeaky clean reflection
To mirror yourself right back to you

Yeah I know you want a good girl
But baby you're no good, so what's the use?
I'm so over trying to be quiet, maybe you should try it
And listen when I talk to you, just like a good girl

Be a good girl, baby come on

Good Girl

He was a red windbreaker and black Chuck Taylors and faded blue Levi jeans
He was soft brown leather and rough white cotton and not a lot in between
And it felt just a little like I fell into the middle of a bona fide teenage dream
But the years go by and the daydreams die and I still don't know what it means

I never felt again what I felt back then when I looked in those big brown eyes
And it left me reeling, left me chasing that feeling, tryna find it down deep inside
Cause we were all running either to or from something, resurrection or suicide
And the fire still smolders even as I get older, even when I'm so sure it's died

And we were screaming from the cheap seats
Trying to be brave and break the rules
Running dreaming through the beach streets
We were lovers, we were fighters, we were fools
So excited, so united,
And so uncool

Now I'm sitting in traffic staring down my demographic in the faded red taillight glow
Thinking everybody scattered like none of it mattered and I don't know which way to go
Wondering how much worse I can still get hurt by all the shit I don't know
In the shadow of a past so vidid and vast and I don't know how I'll ever let go

We were screaming from the cheap seats
Trying to be brave and break the rules
Running dreaming through the beach streets
We were lovers, we were fighters, we were fools
So excited, so united,
And so uncool

Maybe you can never go home again
Love is kind, and then it's cruel
But you loved me when I was uncool

When we were screaming from the cheap seats
Trying to be brave and break the rules
Running dreaming through the beach streets
We were lovers, we were fighters, we were fools
So excited, so united,
And so uncool

Uncool
