(Dan Welch)
Tinted hair and painted lips
Polish on your fingertips
I hardly knew it was you
Shabby dress and worn out lock
A shadow of the girl I love
I hardly knew it was you.
You once said that you
Would have no one
Not no one will ever have you
A life of hardship and disgrace
I see it written on your face
I hardly knew it was you.
--- Instrumental ---
Custom jewels and cheap perfume
Tou're like a rose that's lost its bloom
I hardly knew it was you
From the simple girl I knew
You have changed dear, goin' through
I hardly knew it was you.
We could have lived our lives together
But your heart had a mind all its own
What a pity what a shame
I don't know who's to blame
But I hardly knew it was you...
