Naive Girl

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 20th century daydream
I'm beginning to learn, despite the facade
That people are not always as pretty
As they seem

Little naive girl isn't so naive anymore
Little naive girl learned not to go knocking
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

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

Little naive girl isn't so naive anymore
Little naive girl learned not to go knocking
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

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

A little naive girl isn't so naive anymore
Naive girl learned not to go knocking
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

I know I should be treated well, oh
Ah ah ah ah ah
