When you were a little girl
I had dreams and I had plans for you
As a single father I knew
There was gonna be turbulence along the way
I did not know that so soon
I'd have to stand on the side
Watch you go through life
Without my guidance, you see
I wanted to be there (when you cry)
I wanted to be there (when you smile)
I wanted to be there (when you play)
I wanted to be there (all your life)
I would say it's wrong, she'd say it's right
Words got spoken since I live in a glass house
I didn't want no stones to be thrown
I didn't want no blows to be thrown

But I would hate to see my (good girl go bad)
I hate to see my (good girl go bad)
I would hate to see my (good girl go bad)
(Good girl go bad)
I would hate to see my (good girl go bad)

(..)

The games we played
The rhymes you taught me
Everything we did together
Those were the best days of my life
I will always remember
The little girl that you were once
I wanted to be there when you cry
I wanted to be there when you smile
I wanted to be there when you play
I wanted to be there all your life
I would say it's right, she'd say it's wrong
I would say it's wrong, she'd say it's right
Words got spoken since I live in a glass house
I didn't want no stones to be thrown
I didn't want no blows to be thrown

But I would hate to see my (good girl go bad)
Oh my (good girl go bad)
I would hate to see my (good girl go bad)
(Good girl go bad)
I would hate to see my (good girl go bad)
(Good girl go bad)
(Good girl go bad, good girl go bad..)
