Legend In Her Mind

Once upon a time I met a girl who was a legend in her mind.
She never followed trends. She knows to be a legend you don't follow nobodies kind.
She stuck her nose in the air and walked past all the crazy people who gave her the time of day
She never wanted friends she didn't need them telling her to try and be just like them.

She grew up strange her folks bought her everything from horses to diamond rings
They sent her to reform school taught her not to chew gum or to lose her precious cool.

Once upon a time I met a girl who was a legend in her mind
She snobbed all the poor kids never talked to anyone her parents said didn't fit in
When she got into a punch up people'd go congratulate the person who knocked her out
She was a cheerleading, horse riding, ballet princess mistress with a black mark on her world.

She grew up strange her folks brought her to judo lessons training her how to fight
but she liked to be beat up, messed up, knocked up so she never stood up for her right.

Once upon a time I met a girl who was a legend in her mind
She never shut up. She said her life story and I had no chance to say mine
She never liked me because my daddy is a painter and he likes what he does
She used to say to me, "the reason I'm so mean is simply because

I grew up strange I'm 23 years old and I'm still living at home.
I've got an illegitimate child and mommy and daddy tell me they don't want me in their life."
