She's the prettiest girl I have ever seen, The walking definition of a beauty queen Every man in town wants to take her away But she hasn't always been this way You should have seen that girl to the years ago With a Kool-Aid mustache, freckled nose Now she's breaking hearts and taking names But she hasn't always been this way She didn't mean anything to me I brushed her out so easily She hasn't always been this way I really can't believe how much that girl has changed She's outta my life, she's outta my reach, I'm outta her mind she's outta my league But she hasn't always been this way Well her brother Bobby was my best friend So she followed us around wherever we went Now she won't give me the time of day But she hasn't always been this way When I was 16 she gave me a card, Said I love you with all my heart She hasn't always been this way I really can't believe how much that girl has changed She's outta my life, she's outta my reach, I'm outta her mind she's outta my league But she hasn't always been this way She hasn't always been this way I really can't believe how much that girl has changed She's outta my life, she's outta my reach, I'm outta her mind, she's outta my league But she hasn't always been this way No, she hasn't always been this way
