Killing a southern belle is all you know how to do That and give other people hell It's what they expect from you, too But I wouldn't have you how you are I don't want to walk around I don't even want to breathe I live in a southern town Where all you can do is grit your teeth But I wouldn't have you how you are How come you're not ashamed of what you are? And sorry that you're the one she got? Ain't nobody looking now Nobody, nothing's said No one's about to shout Nobody's seeing red But I wouldn't have you how you are You're killing a southern belle Killing a southern belle Killing a southеrn belle
