whatever happened to the girl down the street,
the one with such life in her eyes?
always dancin' to her own crazy beat
and every day another surprise
well people change
people grow
people break but i don't know
how you became the girl i saw in the video
so take a sec
close your eyes
recollect and realize
that your reflection's not the girl in my mind
it's like you're all dressed up with nowhere to go
you bought the shoes and the clothes
and you're puttin on a show
heads up, yeah, dress up is fine
but baby, true love is blind
so don't you ever let it go
don't you ever let it go
see i remember back in 1994
we'd hang for nights and for days
couldn't wait for what the world had in store
just livin' life with hearts all ablaze
yeah that was then, and this is now
but once again, i don't know how
you can pretend to be a whole different person
so take a breath and take my hand
i've got no test, i've got no plan
just a feeling we were right from the start
it's like you're all dressed up with nowhere to go
you bought the shoes and the clothes
and you're puttin on a show
heads up, yeah, dress up is fine
but baby, true love is blind
so don't you ever let it go
don't you think that it's time
to sober up and reprioritize?
turn your eyes in the right direction
and listen closely to this boy's confession
you're so much more
than who you are
yeah, underneath you're a star
yeah, underneath you're a star
it's like you're all dressed up with nowhere to go
you bought the shoes and the clothes
and you're puttin on a show
heads up, yeah, dress up is fine
but baby, true love is blind
so don't you ever let it go
you're all dressed up with nowhere to go
