When She Was Good

When She Was Good

Verse 1

This girl who lived in my hometown was as sweet as can be

She was so gentle that she never harmed a flea

Now everyone knows she's a completely different person

If you were a stranger to her, she would treat you like a friend

It did not matter who you were 

You'd still get her attention

These days she could care less of what happens to others

Verse 2

If you needed help, she'd be there for you

Other people came first

Now she wouldn't even give you the time of day

She would give you the shirt off her back without hesitation

Verse 3

I never once saw her cry or act out in anger

Now she's confrontational and doesn't care if she pisses people off

She and her lover cause trouble wherever they go

She's the talk of the town but doesn't give a damn

Chorus

When she was good, little kids looked up to her as a role model

But she fell in love with a bad boy

And now she's just like him in every way
