lyrics

When I was just a young girl, my Daddy he left home
I'd sneak out of the house to find out where the bad boys roam
So they took me to the preacher full of fire and brimstone
Said "the devil gonna catch you up if you don't leave them boys alone"
Well the Bible taught me when in Rome do as the Romans do
And i could never turn one down, would you? (No!)
I never never do
(Wahoop) - Good girl, don't you cry
(Wahoop) - Good girls don't ask why
(Wahoop) - Good girl you gotta try to just leave them boys alone
(Wahoop) - Good girl you must take car
(Wahoop) - Good girl now please beware
(Wahoop) - Good girls don't put it there, you gotta leave them boys alone

When I was back in high school I was in the high school play
And fellas you would not believe what was going on backstage
The leading boy was standing there, I caught him in his underwear
With an "Oh my lord" and "I declare!" I didn't leave that boy alone
Well the theatre it taught me girl you gotta play the part
And im real good at playing with the heart (Ha!), I tear it apart
(Wahoop) - Good girl just say no
(Wahoop) - Good girl life ain't a show
(Wahoop) - Good girl they gotta go, you gotta leave them boys alone
(Wahoop) - Good girl you gone bad
(Wahoop) - Good girl he ain't your dad!
(Wahoop) - Good girl now you've been had, you gotta leave them boys alone

Well I'd go to all the parties, with the glitter and the glam
It really wasn't hard to get a little Wham Bam Thankyou Ma'am!
There always would be some guy who would try to take me home
And I, sir, kindly will oblige coz I don't wanna be alone.
Well the party life it taught me that nothing ever lasts
And I am always running from my past (go!) and I run fast
(Wahoop) - Good girl you're living blind
(Wahoop) - Good girl you've lost your mind
(Wahoop) - Good girl now please be kind and just leave them boys alone
(Wahoop) - Hey girl what do you do
(Wahoop) - Hey girl when you're feelin' blue?
(Wahoop) - Hey they've got feelings too, you gotta leave them boys alone

Well I know you must be wondering if I could ever change?
Well isn't it so funny how your very life can re-arrange
I found a bone-fide gent, who treated me so kind
And offered me the kind of love that I thought I'd never find
And now I'm standing by his side and that's where i'm gonna stay
And i am never ever gonna stray, (Eh?) No damn way!
(Wahoop) - Good girl you got your man
(Wahoop)- Good girl you won the hand
(Wahoop) - Good girl you know you can just leave them boys alone
(Wahoop) - Hey girl you done good
(Wahoop) - Hey girl better knock on wood
(Wahoop) - Hey girl do what you should and just leave them boys alone

Wahoop - (Girl leave them boys alone)
Wahoop - (Girl leave them boys alone)
Wahoop - (Girl leave them boys alone) You gotta leave them boys alone
Wahoop - (Girl leave them boys alone)
Wahoop - (Girl leave them boys alone)
Wahoop - (Girl leave them boys alone) You gotta leave them boys alone
