Naive Girl

[Verse 1]

My whole life I've tried to be kind

But what does kindness mean?

I've changed myself to help you

But how does that help me?

My education is built upon

Some twentieth-century daydream

I'm beginning to learn, despite the facade

That people are not always as pretty as they seem

[Chorus]

Little naive girl

Isn't so naive anymore

Little naive girl

Learned not to go knockin' down on death's door

Little naive girl

She grew up and now she's strong as hell

Little naive girl

Now knows she should be treated well

[Verse 2]

Unconditional love is what I gave

No condition could ever drive me away, oh

You held me down while I clung to you

You said I'd never get out, and I trusted you

But in troubled water, you learn to sink or swim

[Chorus]

Little naive girl

Isn't so naive anymore

Little naive girl

Learned not to go knockin' down on death's door

Little naive girl

She grew up and now she's strong as hell

Little naive girl

Now knows she should be treated well

[Bridge]

Oh, no more one-sided compromises

I'm shiny but I'm not one of your prizes

You think you can use me?

Give it a while, even a fool knows better than to mess with this

Naive girl

[Chorus]

A little naive girl

Isn't so naive anymore

Naive girl

Learned not to go knockin' down on death's door

Little naive girl

She grew up and now she's strong as hell

Little naive girl

Now knows she should be treated well

[Outro]

I know I should be treated well, oh

Ah
