That girl is cute, she don't look it
No one has ever shown her that, no
But I want her to see that she's beautiful to me
Like the leaves on the trees

But she hides away
Doesn't hear a word you say
She hides away
Blocking out a summer's day

That girl is smart but she don't get it
No one has ever taught her that, no
There are lessons to be learned in the books that she's burned
If her heart takes a turn

But she hides away
Stays inside her room and plays
She hides away
And doesn't like the world today
She hides away
Doesn't hear a word you say
She hides away
Away

Yeah, yeah, that girl is fun, she don't smile none
Stays up all night and cries to sleep, to sleep, yeah
To feel good about yourself is like having all this wealth
It means more than anything else

But she hides away
Doesn't like the world today
She hides away
Stays inside her room and plays
She hides away
Blocking out a summer's day
She hides away
Away
