Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song for various reasons. I'd recently seen a group of school girls who had the attention of some older men. The girls had their skirts pulled up ridiculously high, their shirts provocatively unbuttoned and seemed so pleased with themselves, but in reality they looked very silly, very immature and very, very naive. Around the same time one of my peers told me that being promiscuous was a sign of women's sexual 'power','freedom' and 'equality' which I massively disagreed with, believing that having one man prove his worth is surely far more 'empowering' than sleeping around! So this song is my attempt to combat a lot of the messages I hear in pop songs today (and see in pop videos!).

Lyrics
Such a little cutie pie
Innocent look in her eye
Hitching up her skirt so high
Makes her blush to flash her thigh
Think you're having fun?
Well, girl you look so young
Where you gonna run
When your shirt's undone?
Whispers nothing in your ear
Cos it's what you like to hear
Tells you: 'baby have no fear'
Has his way then disappears
Oh, the boy's 'confused'
Doesn't wanna 'choose'
Another excuse
Darling you've been used
When did girls get dumb?
It's all gone so wrong
Making it so easy
For guys to play for free
No man will ever be
Good enough for me
Unless he shows me
Clearly
He's gonna make me happy
You own your own destiny
And your sexuality
You'd exploit your own body
Just to prove women are 'free'
Think you've got control?
Well now men have no goal
They're just on a roll
You undersold your soul
When did girls get dumb?
It's all gone so wrong
Making it so easy
For guys to play for free
No man will ever be
Good enough for me
Unless he shows me
Clearly
He's gonna make me happy
If you don't respect yourself
Then neither will anyone else
When did girls get dumb?
It's all gone so wrong
Making it so easy
For guys to play for free
No man will ever be
Good enough for me
Unless he shows me
Clearly
He's gonna make me happy
