Girl Afraid lyrics

Girl afraid,

Where do his intentions lay?

Or does he even have any?

She says,

‘He never really looks at me

I give him every opportunity

In the room downstairs

He sat and stared

In the room downstairs

He sat and stared

I'll never make that mistake again!’

I'll never make that mistake again.

I'll never make that mistake again.

Boy afraid

Prudence never pays

And everything she wants costs money.

‘But she doesn't even like me!

And I know because she said so

In the room downstairs

She sat and stared

In the room downstairs

She sat and stared

I'll never make that mistake again!’
