Miss California - Melissa Etheridge

Yeah

Hey

Ooh, Miss California

What did I do wrong?

It seems I’ve loved you

For just a little too long

Ooh, you’ve gone and left me

For some preacher’s way

Now you act like you never knew me

And you can’t hear a word I say

Miss California

Did I get in your way?

Did the neighbors warn you

What would happen someday?

That a love like mine

Was never good anyway

They said: «Think about your reputation

Before you get carried away»

Don’t you know what’s good for me

Can be good for you?

Don’t you know what’s good for me

Can be good for you?

Don’t you know what’s good for you

Can be good for me, too?

Don’t you know what’s good for me

Can be good for you?

Miss California

Was I a little too proud?

I’m standing in the streets now

And I’m screaming out loud

You try to shove me in your closet

With your skulls and your bones

Oh, I can be who I am, you see

If I want to do it all alone

Hey… yeah, yeah, yeah

Don’t you know what’s good for me

Can be good for you?

Don’t you know what’s good for you

Can be good for me, too?

Don’t you know what’s good for me

Can be good for you?

Your sweet seduction

Led me far from home

Your self-destruction

Gives me sticks and stones

Your propositions

Make me feel so cold

When the hand that’s trying to hold me down

Is the one that I’m trying to hold

I know the hand that’s trying to hold me down

Is the one that I’m trying to hold us

The hand that’s trying to force me back

Is the one that won’t let me go

Miss California

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Miss California

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Miss California

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Miss California

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah…

Yeah, yeah, hey

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah…

Don’t you know what’s good for me?
