She is the prettiest girl I've ever seen
The walking definition of a beauty queen
And every man in town wants to take her away
But she hasn't always been this way
You should've seen that girl 10 years ago
With a kool-aid mustache and a 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 off 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
That 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 (X2)
