GOOD GIRLS GO TO HEAVEN
Everywhere I look, there’s a bunch of godforsaken dames
Overflowing ashtrays and bottles full of dreams
The lights start to flicker, but it might be these old eyes
That look you up and down as you walk in from the street
You glance in my direction, I buy another drink
You make me feel like I’m falling down
And all the good girls go to heaven
But all the bad girls seem to stick around
Ever since she left it’s been hard to stay sober
It’s hard to kick these habits that she left me with
But now the light hits your face and you dazzle this old heart
When you smile at me and give me a wink
And you look a hundred dollars, an inebriated goddess
You look so nice beneath the neon light
And all the good girls go to heaven
But all you bad girls, you seek me out every night
I buy you a drink and you look into my eyes
I listen to your stories, and then I tell you mine
You say you have a lover, but I can’t say that I mind
You’re perfect, and he ain’t here tonight
I ask you will you follow me, you nod and then you smile
My arms are wrapped around you and the rain pours down
And all the good girls go to heaven
But all you bad girls, wind up in my part of town
Now the sun is coming up, and I think you’ve had enough
You can’t hold your liquor and you really should go home
I can’t bear to take you home to him, but you can’t stay with me
And you really shouldn’t walk home alone
So I drag you along, you kiss me on the way
I know I want to have you but I never will
And all the good girls go to heaven
But all you bad girls, keep on haunting me still
And I wander through the morning, wondering about you,
Wonder at the wonder that we even met
And all the good girls go to heaven
But all you bad girls, seem to be all I ever get
