"Stupid Boy" lyrics - TENILLE TOWNES

She was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different

[Pre-Chorus:]
Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
Stupid boy, it's like holding back the wind

[Chorus:]
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
Then you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice, and
That's what happens when the only voice she hears is tellin' her she can't
Stupid boy

What made you think you could take her life
And just push it and push it around?
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down

[Chorus:]
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
Then you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice, and
That's what happens when the only voice she hears is tellin' her she can't
You stupid boy

[Post-Chorus:]
You always had to be right
And now you lost the only thing
That ever made you feel alive
Whoa, you stupid boy

[Bridge:]
It took a while for me to figure out
I could run, and when I did
I was long gone, long gone
You're the same old stupid boy
You're the same old stupid boy

[Chorus:]
She never even knew she had a choice, and
That's what happens when the only voice she hears is tellin' her she can't
You stupid boy, yeah

[Outro:]
Stupid boy, yeah
You're the same old, same old stupid boy
