Capo:5
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**
you stupid boy
you always had to be right
and now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel
alive
**chorus**
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
