There Are Worse Things I Could Do Lyrics

There are worse things I could do
Than go with a boy or two.
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good.
I suppose it could be true.
But there are worse things I could do.

I could flirt with all the guys,
Smile at them and bat my eyes,
Press against them when we dance,
Make them think they stand a chance,
Then refuse to see it through.
That's a thing I'd never do.

I could stay home ev'ry night,
Wait around for Mister Right,
Take cold showers ev'ry day,
And throw my life away
On a dream that won't come true.

I could hurt someone like me
Out of spite or jealousy.
I don't steal and I don't lie
But I can feel and I can cry
A fact I'll bet you never knew.
But to cry in front of you,
That's the worst thing I could do.
