There are worse things I could do Than go with a boy or two Even though the neighborhood Thinks I'm trashy and no good I suppose it may be true But there are worse things I could do I could flirt with all the guys Smile at them and bat my eyes Press against them when we dance Make them think they stand a chance Then refuse to see it through That's a thing I wouldn't do I could stay home every night Wait around for Mr. Right Take cold showers every day And throw my life away On a dream that won't come true I could hurt someone like me Out of spite or jealousy I don't steal and I don't lie But I can feel and I can cry A fact I'll bet you never knew But to cry in front of you That's the worst thing I could do
