Patron on the brain, bar player in my face
They shake the spot, she's just another case
Easy for a good girl to go bad
And once we've gone
Best believe we've gone forever
Don't be the reason
Don't be the reason
You better learn how to treat us right
'Cause once a good girl goes bad
We die forever
-Rihanna, Good Girl Gone Bad
