Elvis Costello - Little Goody Two Shoes lyrics

You can take a powder, you can take a drink

You can keep the shrink and the kitchen sink

You can write my name in heaven in invisible ink

Just leave a feeling when there's no time to think

Little goody two shoes is here to clinch

You can miss by a mile or you can miss by an inch

Don't move a muscle, baby, don't even flinch

Or little goody two shoes will feel the pinch

You can tear me under, you can give me lip

You can tear me over, you can give me the slip

You can take off everything or tear me off a strip

With a bullet in the chamber and another in the clip

Little goody two shoes is here to clinch

You can miss by a mile or you can miss by an inch

Don't move a muscle, baby, don't even flinch

Or little goody two shoes will feel the pinch

Just when you thought you got what you deserved

Just when it's time to stop trying

A voice says, "Boy, have you got a nerve--

Why do you have to keep crying and crying?"

You can take me outside, you can take me apart

You can take me upstairs, you can take me to heart

You can take the decision that it's time to depart

Don't try to stop me when you told me to start

Little goody two shoes is here to clinch

You can miss by a mile or you can miss by an inch

Don't move a muscle, baby, don't even flinch

Or little goody two shoes will feel the pinch
