Well, this is not a good sign 
you don't know when, but you're running out of time 
and then the life that you had and your heart 
well, it passed on before you fell apart 

don't you know you're a good girl? 
won't you please act that way? 
oh, be a good girl, desiree 

well, she grew up just south of Eau Claire 
dreaming of a dirt road anywhere 
and the boys, they would drive her right into the night 
lights 
and if you're going to go a mile 
may as well go all the way 
oh, and you were moving, desiree 
so, get moving desiree 

and you thought you'd live forever 
but you're not so sure today 
so you dropped to your knees and you prayed 
and you thought you'd lived forever 
but if your heart should stop today 
god knows you were a good girl anyway 
so, be a good girl desiree 

oh, you're a good girl, desiree
