And it seems to me, she's a casualty
She's just somebody's daughter
Guess no one really saw her
It's such a shame, shame, shame
That our homecoming queen
Had a lot to prove and so many to please
Was a lot like you and a lot like me
Of all the pressure that he put on her
It's such a shame, shame, shame
When it came to looks she was next to none
It's such a shame, shame, shame
And it seems to me, she's a casualty
It's been five years since she left for L.A.
She's an angel with a dirty face
Of all the pressure that we put on her
And now we've lost her for good
Just looking for somebody to love her
And she never walked on water
It's such a shame, shame, shame
Had a lot to prove and so many to please
That our homecoming queen
Then she hooked up with the wrong someone
Was a lot like you and a lot like me
Before you got strung out with so much potential
And he promised everything under the sun
And she never walked on water
How could you let us down?
She's just somebody's daughter
But loved partying and having too much fun
Well, I never knew you, wish I could've saved you
A shame, shame, shame
She was so adored by everyone
It's such a shame, shame, shame
She's just somebody's daughter
'Cause no one really saw her
That our homecoming queen
And now we're left with the what ifs
From losers that drained you
'Cause no one really saw her
That our homecoming queen
And now we've lost her for good
That our homecoming queen
It's such a shame, shame, shame
And she never walked on water
It's such a shame, shame, shame
Looking for somebody to love her
Was a lot like you and a lot like me
Just looking for somebody to love her
