You were once a sweet little girl So innocent and pure Your eyes were open and sure Anyone could look right in And I followed closely your gaze You looked up towards the sky And I watched your face drift away Other things had caught your eye Oh, the magazines and media supplied you with their plastic protocol Oh, and maybe music television really is the devil after all But all I can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then Before you grew up, before you gave in And you dream of sharing your heart Instead you share your bed And your heart beats empty and cold With all the tears you have shed And you dream of baring your soul Instead you bare more skin And you wear dark glasses to keep Anyone from looking in Oh, the magazines and media supplied you with their plastic protocol Oh, and maybe music television really is the devil after all But all I can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then Before you grew up, before you gave in And all you want is to hear the words Dear baby I love you So you hike your skirt higher still Til their eyes are all on you You drive in fast foreign cars The color of your sin And you tint your windows to keep Anyone from looking in Oh, and all I can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then Before you grew up, before you gave in And all I can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then You could be beautiful again
