I spoke with one of the top pros yesterday who asked me to listen to Keith Urban’s “Stupid Boy”. The lyrics that hit way too close to home for her and wanted me to share it here. The last line in the song says, “It took a while for her to figure out she could run but when she did she was long gone, long gone.” That’s exactly what she is did and encourages anyone woman who feels like a man is trying to steal your dreams or prevent you from being you, to get out.
It’s a heavy topic to end the year on but one that is worth contemplating as we move into the new year.
Well she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy…you can’t fence that in
Stupid boy…it’s like holdin’ back the wind
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that’s what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
Stupid boy
Stupid boy
So what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down
Oh…
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that’s what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
You stupid boy
Oh you always had to be right
And now you’ve lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that’s what happens when the only voice She Hears is telling her she can’t
You stupid boy
Oh, I’m the same old, same old stupid boy
It took a while for her to figure out she could run but when she did she was long gone, long gone
