What are you girls gonna tell your mother
I don't want to hear another word about young lovers
Or hiding your boyfriend in the cupboard
She's been to see the doctor, so you hope that she recovers
You act dumb, you say you're so numb
You say you don't come under his thumb
Chorus:
Don't wanna be a goody-goody
I don't want just anybody
No, I don't want anybody
Saying "You belong to me, you belong to me"
Your eyes are absent, your mouth is silent
Pumping like a fire hydrant
Things you see are getting hard to swallow
You're easily led, but you're much too scared to follow
You've been warned, you're going to get torn
No uniform is gonna keep you warm
(Chorus)
