Wanda's song letra

Wanda was the one girl
we claimed we never knew
Lincoln High School's homely-coming queen

She barely graduated with the class of '92
Voted most unlikely to succeed
Rumor had it Wanda never knew who her daddy was
At least that's what we spread all over town

I guess we always thought that we were building ourselves up
With the sticks and stones we threw to break her down

All the years we thought it didn't matter
Cuz we never saw her cry
And Wanda never asked us
"Why, do you hurt me, and treat me like you do
What have I ever done to, deserve this, from you;
Would you do the things you do
If you were me and I were you ?"

Looking back I see the pain that we put Wanda thru
And just where all the fun and games were leading
We didn't realize the damage sticks and stones would do
Cuz it was depp inside Wanda was bleeding
The paper said her death was self-inflicted
But was it suicide?
Cuz the note she wrote said:

Why, do you hurt me, and treat me like you do
What have I ever done to, deserve this, from you.
Would you do the things you do
If you were me and I were you ?

For every action there's a reaction
broken hearts don't just happen

If you put yourself in their position
There's no good answer to the question...
Why, do you hurt me, and treat me like you do
What have I ever done to, deserve this, from you.
Would you do the things you do
If you were me and I were you ?

Wanda was the one girl
we claimed we never knew.
