Lyrics

They used to love you 'til you got older
Your stock is plummeting, they should’ve warned ya
Your fate is feelin' like a tiger cub's
They only want you when you're young

I used to watch you dance on MTV
Filled my little head with wishes and dreams
Now I’m glad that I flew under the radar
'Cause they love you and leave you with some permanent scars
and that doesn't seem like fun
I wouldn’t wish it on anyone

I hope you're happy now
I hope you tuned them out
I hope you found a way
To keep your sanity
I hope you feel the love
and something they can’t take pictures of
Even though you've faded from the magazines
But in my mind you're still a queen

'Cuz it’s
So fun when you're young and naive
'Til you went and sold your soul to society
Bright and sweet with a Southern drawl
We built you up just to watch you fall

Why do you gotta be so scrutinized?
Every inch of your body under judging eyes
Is this fate of every leady lady
The party girl and the virgin Mary
That just don’t seem right
I hope a better fate awaits the next in line

I hope you're happy now
I hope you tuned them out
I hope you found a way
To keep your sanity
I hope you feel the love
Something they can’t take pictures of
You know you faded from the magazines
But in my mind you're still a queen

When you were a little girl
Never planned that you’d be damned in a man’s world
I hope it’s easy sheddin’ the pain of it
A teen idol turned tabloid favorite
Gone mad

I hope you never look back
And, I hope you're happy now
I hope you tuned them out
I hope you found a way
To keep your sanity
I hope you feel the love
Something they can’t take pictures of
You know you faded from the magazines
But in my mind you're still a queen
Of the late 90’s pop scene
Livin' out my dream
In my mind you're still a queen
