[Lyric] Southern Belle (Elliott Smith)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
How come you're not ashamed of what you are?
And sorry that you're the one she got?

[Verse 3]
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 southern belle
