Story Behind The Song

Inspired by a class reunion.

Song Description

She was the nerdy girl at school - until she moved to LA and became a movie star. But she's still my best friend!

Lyrics

I Knew Her When She Wasn't All That

She was the one with pigtails and freckles
Taking the taunts and hallway heckles
Nobody noticing at the school dance
She left that town - at the first chance

I heard she had a tough time in LA
But this time she didn't run away
The lessons learned carried her far
Next thing I knew - she was a movie star

CHORUS
I knew her when she didn't dance like that
I knew her when she didn't walk like that
I knew her when she didn't turn heads like that
I knew her when - she wasn't all that

Its funny how those pigtails - now look so hot
Her goddess body is making all the jaws drop
Moving with the music like a Hollywood queen
Who would have known - she was a nerdy teen?

Every hip bump in her shiny gold dress
Draws attention but she couldn't care less
The girls are whispering that she's such a b...
But the guys are lined up to get her ... in a selfie

CHORUS

I was like her too - we weren't considered cool
That girl was my best friend
Funny how life can be - 'cause now she's here with me
I guess us losers - can win every now and then

CHORUS
