On Being a Good Girl

On Being a Good Girl

I am great at stop sign courtesy

I can brake dance at red lights

Im getting better at backing up,

I can keep a good eye on my rearview.

And I’m pretty good at falling for you.

I do pretty well with poetry.

I am great with extended metaphor.

I am sufficient when it comes to grammar

I may be the only girl you know who can pull off the Dickinson dash

And I’m great at loving the way it feels  when your hand’s on my ass.

I am super at hugs

I am great with introductions

I am professional at making friends

I am stellar at hello

When it comes to you,

I’m great at letting everything go.

I am great at picking mascara

I can pluck my eyebrows in the car

I’m getting better at eyeliner on the top lid,

I can keep it all together with some nice shadow

And I can look real pretty when youre feeling shallow.

I do pretty well with animals.

I am great with kittens and cats

Im sufficient when it comes to dog walking

I may be the only girl you know who’d be happy being a cat lady

And I’d be happier being the lady you made me.

I am super at saying yes

I am great at giving in

I am professional at apologies

And I am stellar at regret.

When it comes to you,

I’m great at being a secret.

I am great at telling lies

I can get out of anything

Im getting better at crying on command

I can keep a good game going

And im great at accepting how good you are at knowing.

I do pretty well with consistency

I’m great with daily sentiment,

Im sufficient when it comes to routine

I may be the only girl you know who cant sleep without “goodnight”

And if you fell asleep before we got there, that’d be okay.

I am super at being your part-time lover.

I am great at giving it all to you.

Im professional at going down to where you want me

Im stellar when I know what you want me to do,

And when ive had so much,

Why the hell do I want more of you?
