KEITH URBAN
"Stupid Boy"
(Dave Berg / Deanna Bryant / Sarah Buxton)

Well, she was precious like a flower
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 holding 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

So what made you think that 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

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

You always had to be right
And now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive

Oh, 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 awhile for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone

Oh, she's gone
She's long gone
Yeah, she is

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