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
