It kind of shocked me
This total change
Took me by complete surprise
The girl that I once knew
Seemed distant and strange
Like someone else was behind her eyes
She'd cut her hair real short
She'd gotten fat
She stopped wearing her cool clothes
Her face was careworn
Had a hardened heart
The bloom was off the rose
I don't know you anymore
And maybe I never did
You're not who I thought you were
Unless you kept it hid
I was shaken
Down to my bones
It's all seemed out of the blue
Yeah, we all change
But not like this
This was not the person I knew
She had a new accent
Ques ca c'est
Maybe British or maybe French
She smoked like a chimney
Drank to extreme
With a thirst she could not quench
Can I take off the mask to reveal
The person that I once recall
I bet she's hiding there behind
This newly built impenetrable wall
She acted phony
Just like her dad
The nut don't fall far from the tree
Pegged her different
Much better than this
There was lots I did not see
