"The Girl Who Had Everything" lyrics

"The Girl Who Had Everything"

Everyone said she was lucky
Had a beautiful home, in the best neighbourhood
Never short on friends or money
Maybe just a little too good

Such a bright future ahead
That's what everyone said
That's what they said

She's the girl who had everything
She was her daddy's and her momma's pride
She's the girl who had everything
That money could by

Her daddy worked late, most every evening
Her mother was just too caught up in herself
They never knew
What she was going through
And no one heard her crying for help
Any new thing that she'd use
Was no substitute
For the love she couldn't find

She's the girl who had everything
She had her daddy's smile, and her momma's eyes
She's the girl who had everything
Everybody asked why

She reached for something to hold
To break her fall
She was losing control
They weren't there at all
She felt so lonely and small
Lonely...

If they'd only taken the time, to know what she felt inside
Before it was too late
She'd be here today

She's the girl who had everything
But sometimes it seems that it just ain't enough
She's the girl who had everything
Everything but love
She's the girl who had everything
Perfect smile, was the perfect disguise
She's the girl who had everything
(Everything but love) She had everything but love
(Everything but love) Uh ooh, ooh, yeah
