Be a Good Girl

You cross your legs casually,

Unbridledly serveyinging my breast;

Your snaky hand slip round my waist,

As if reaching out for a novel bait;

You hiss at the other end of the line,

“If only you could be in one of those little dresses”;

You breathe in my quivering ear,  

“Put away your paws and let off the guard”;

Your voice is too silkily toxic to resist,

“Be a Good girl, you’ve gotta try a little harder”;

 

Yet before I melt away,

I have to turn you into my rib;

Don’t  make the faintest attempt to say the word out,

Till you see how ugly the cuts over my body are;

‘Cause you won’t make me a perfect girl,

Even looking through rose-tinted spectacles;

I’ve been standing tall for ever,

With or without high-heels;

Even not born to fight,

I’m set to run wild.

 

Perfect

(Vocal & Written: Alanis Morissette)

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you’re flawless, then you’ll win my love
Don’t forget to win first place
Don’t forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You’ve got to measure up
And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You’ve gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn’t good enough
To make us proud

I’ll live through you
I’ll make you what I never was
If you’re the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I’m doing this for your own damn good
You’ll make up for what I blew
What’s the problem… why are you crying

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn’t fast enough
To make us happy
We’ll love you just the way you are if you’re perfect

A Quick Note

Long time no see, buddy!

Just a quick note letting you know that I’m experiencing the most crucial moment of this semester, finishing up my 8,000-words research project due tomorrow.

It’s a serene night;The sun just packed up its last radiance; Boyz II Men’s voices are soothing all distractions away; Me, myself, and I are gonna make it to the end very soon.

Tomorrow, I will say goodbye to the “yesterday”.
