ever since she was 13, we knew she'd be beautiful
all the friends and fame one needs, it all seemed so wonderful
by the time of sweet 16, her friends were so typical,
groomed to be the next prom queen, it all seemed so magical

there she goes, miss beautiful,
she waves her hand, and smiles for me
the perfect pose, she has that glow,
future cover of a magazine

as the years approached 19, she became so cynical
friends with fake smiles are cheap, her men were egotistical

there she goes, miss beautiful
she waves her hand and smiles for me
the perfect pose, but no one knows,
what it's like for this prom queen

we can't read her mind, but there's something wrong deep inside that,
makes it hard to smile, she keeps it up for a little while, and
we see beautiful, and think its so wonderful
where did this fairy tale go, i guess we'll never know

there she goes, she's beautiful
she waves her hand and smiles for me
the perfect pose, but no one knows,
when the next time will be

when will the time be
when will the time be
when will the time be
when will the time be
