She was only seventeen

And was every young boy's dream

The blue eyed beauty queen of the day

Broke some hearts, including mine

But everyone knew, she was just that kind



Seems like all her dreams were spent

On the boys that came and went

But the promises were all but left behind

She was good, and she was mine

But everyone knew, she was just that kind



Hey, they said

They're gonna take you her to Hollywood

Gonna make her like a movie star

Maybe put her in a picture show

Took her chance, she paid her dime

And maybe I loved her, 'cause she was that kind



She was gone by twenty one

When most lives had just begun

There was so much left undone along the way

She took her chance, she paid her dime

Oh, you gotta be strong, to be that kind



Hey, they said

We gonna take you out to Hollywood

We gonna make you like a movie star

We gonna put you in a picture show

Wasted life, a waste of time

But I couldn't have loved her if she wasn't that kind

No, I couldn't have loved her if she wasn't that kind
