That girl is cute, she don't look it No one has ever shown her that, no But I want her to see that she's beautiful to me Like the leaves on the trees But she hides away Doesn't hear a word you say She hides away Blocking out a summer's day That girl is smart but she don't get it No one has ever taught her that, no There are lessons to be learned in the books that she's burned If her heart takes a turn But she hides away Stays inside her room and plays She hides away And doesn't like the world today She hides away Doesn't hear a word you say She hides away Away Yeah, yeah, that girl is fun, she don't smile none Stays up all night and cries to sleep, to sleep, yeah To feel good about yourself is like having all this wealth It means more than anything else But she hides away Doesn't like the world today She hides away Stays inside her room and plays She hides away Blocking out a summer's day She hides away Away
