Stupid Boy

Well, she was precious like a flower

And 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

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, oh

So, what made 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, oh

Well, 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

You stupid boy, oh, you always had to be right

But now you lost the only thing

That ever made you feel alive

Oh, oh

Ooh, ooh

Yeah, yeah

Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands, yeah

And you stole her every dream, and you crushed her plans

Yes, you did

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

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

Ooh, oh, she was gone

She's long gone

Mm, yeah, she is now

Yeah, oh

Oh, no one's ever gonna love me like she loved me

And she loved me, she loved me

God, please, just let her know

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby

Yeah, I'm down on my knees

She's never coming back to me
