[Verse 1]
There was a box, there was a mould I tried to fit:
"Be sweet, obey, follow the rules, don't question it."
Can't get tattoos, or drunk on booze, or smoke a joint
Can't have a coffee, yet you want me to rejoice?
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to be your little gold-star girl
[Chorus]
But when you said I, "can't,"
I heard I, "can" (I can)
If the Devil's lettuce keeps me out of heaven
Well, I'll be damned!
And if you hope and pray that I don't drink
Or swing both ways, you're in denial
I'm a little too wild to be your poster child
[Verse 2]
Couldn't be your Virgin Mary
Yeah, I know, I'm quite contrary!
Didn't wait till I was married
Different kind of missionary!
I'm a sinner, I'm a slut
Whose good was never good enough
You'll judge me no matter what
I can't curse? ...Well fuck
[Chorus]
But when you said I, "can't,"
I heard I, "can" (I can)
If the Devil's lettuce keeps me out of heaven
Well, I'll be damned!
And if you hope and pray that I don't drink
Or swing both ways, you're in denial
I'm a little too wild to be your poster child
[Instrumental Post-Chorus]
[Bridge]
Throw a [?] in my martini
Evil lies in my bikini
You're mad I'm living freely
I think you just wanna be me (Mmm)
[Chorus]
Well you can!
Oh yes, you can!
Take a shot, take a load off
Why not? Who gives a damn?!
And you won't hope and pray that I don't drink
Or swing both ways, no you'll just smile
I'm a little too wild to be your poster child
[Outro]
Your poster child, poster child, poster child...
