[Performed by Dustin Kensrue] [verse 1:] your once a sweet little girl,
so innocent and pure,
your eyes were open and sure that
anyone could look right in,
and i follow closely your gaze,
you looked up towards the sky,
and i watched your face drift away,
other things that caught your eye,
[chorus:] the magazines and media
supplied you with their placid
protocol,
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,
[verse 2:] you dream of sharing your heart,
instead you share your bed,
and your heart beats empty and
cold with all the tears that

and you dream of bearing your soul,
instead you bear more skin,
and you wear dark glasses to keep
anyone from lookin' in,
[chorus:] the magazines and media
supplied you with their placid
protocol,
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,
[verse 3:] and all you want is to hear the words,
dear baby i love you,
so you hike your skirt higher still,
till their eyes are all on you,
and you drive in fast foreign cars,
the color of your sin,
and you tint your windows to keep
anyone from lookin' in,
[verse 4:] 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.
