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
