They should've know better
than to walk like that.
Talk like that. Dress like that.
They should've known better
than to tempt the tiger.
Should've prayed
not to be preyed on.
They should've known better
than to not be strong enough.
Smart enough. Clear enough.
No! Don't! Stop!
Or?
No, don't stop.
They should've known better
than to forget that
"boys will be boys", and
"girls will be girls."
