i see you around, you're a new girl at school,
you do what you can to try to be cool.
party ******* the weekends, never miss a beat,
guys all lined up, so many people to meet.
you dance to every song without a care,
you thrive off of every man's stare.
you're this year's version of "that girl,"
at this small school you're rare as a pearl.
that girl knew where all the parties were thrown,
she had guys all around her and was never alone.
that girl was the one every girl wanted to be,
she was the one everyone wanted to see.
that girl who was fooled, that girl who was played,
she got caught up with guys who wanted to get laid.
that girl who would make so many mistakes,
she regrets the night before every time she wakes.
that girl who needed use her lessons to learn,
she instead wanted to give every guy a turn.
that girl who has her priorities out of whack,
she's a breakdown just waiting to attack.
one day she'll realize that there's more to life.
one day she'll get married and become a wife.
one day she'll know "that girl" is not really her,
one day she'll discover that she is mature.
from the outside looking in, i've had my fun,
in my few years of college i've learned a ton.
i've been around the block, seen what there is to see.
finally i realized "that girl" isn't the real me.
