My whole life I’ve tried to be kind
But what does kindness mean?
I changed myself to help you
But how does that help me?
My education is built upon
Some 20th century daydream
I’m beginning to learn despite the facade
That people are not really as pretty
As they seem
Little naive girl
Isn’t so naive anymore
Little naive girl
Learned not to go knocking
Down on death's door
Little naive girl
She grew up and now she’s strong as hell
Little naive girl
Now knows she should be treated well
Unconditional love is what I gave
No condition could ever drive me away oh
You held me down while I clung to you
You said I'd never get out and I trusted you
But in troubled water
You learn to sink or swim
Little naive girl
Isn’t so naive anymore
Little naive girl
Learned not to go knocking
Down on death's door
Little naive girl
She grew up and now she’s strong as hell
Little naive girl
Now knows she should be treated well
Oh no more one-sided compromises
I’m shiny but I’m not one of your prizes
You think you can use me, give it a whirl
Even a fool knows better
Than to mess with this naive girl
Oh little naive girl
Isn’t so naive anymore
Naive girl
Learned not to go knocking
Down on death's door
Little naive girl
She grew up and now she’s strong as hell
Little naive girl
Now knows she should be treated well
I know I should be treated well
