Good girls are pretty like all the time
I'm just pretty some of the time
Good girls are happy and satisfied
I won't stop asking until I die

I just can't deal with the rules
I can't take the pressure
It's got me saying oh yeah

Who's that girl? That you dream of
Who's that girl? That you think you love
Who's that girl? What if I'm nothing like her
I know there's no such girl
I swear I can't take the pressure
Who's that girl?

Good girls don't say no or ask you why
I won't let you love me, until you really try (oh no)
Good girls are sexy like every day
I'm only sexy when I say it's OK

I just can't deal with the rules
I can't take the pressure
It's got me saying oh yeah

Who's that girl? That you dream of
Who's that girl? That you think you love
Who's that girl? What if I'm nothing like her
I know there's no such girl
I swear I can't take the pressure
Who's that girl?

Let's play a game that you never tried
You be the girl and I'll be the guy
Let's pretend everything has changed
And then would you love me any different

I just can't deal with the rules
I can't take the pressure (oh no)
Who's that girl?

Who's that girl? That you dream of
Who's that girl? That you think you love
Who's that girl? What if I'm nothing like her
I know there's no such girl
I swear I can't take the pressure
Who's that girl?

Who's that girl? (Who's that girl?) That you dream of
Who's that girl? That you think you love
Who's that girl? What if I'm nothing like her
I know there's no such girl
I swear I can't take the pressure
Who's that girl?
