well she was precious like a flower
she grew wild, wild but innocent
a perfect prayer in a desperate hour
she was everything beautiful and different
stupid boy... you can't fence that in
stupid boy... it's like holdin' back the wind
chorus:
she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
and you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
she never even knew she had a choice
and that's what happens when the only voice
she hears is telling her she can't
stupid boy
stupid boy
so what makes you think you could take a life
and just push it, push it around
i guess to build yourself up so high
you had to take her and break her down
well...
chorus:
she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
and you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
she never even knew she had a choice
and that's what happens when the only voice
she hears is telling her she can't
stupid boy
stupid boy
you stupid boy
you always had to be right
and now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive
chorus:
she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
and you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
she never even knew she had a choice
and that's what happens when the only voice
she hears is telling her she can't
stupid boy
stupid boy
you stupid boy
oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy
it took a while for her to figure out she could run
but when she did, she was long gone, long gone
