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
