It’s a mad, mad world
and she’s a good little girl
but there are people who love
to screw it all up
’cause they know how to make a bad boy better
and a good girl bitter,
turn the hopeful to doubt
and the winner into a quitter
but one day it hit her,
she figured it out
she surely didn’t have to live her whole life in doubt
that it’s a mad, mad world
and that good little girl
grew up to be bitter
’cause she couldn’t be the winner
of love.
