Tinted hair and painted lips
Polish on your fingertips
I hardly knew it was you
Shabby dress and worn out gloves
A shadow of the girl I love
I hardly knew it was you
You once said that you would have no one
Now no one will ever have you
A life of hardship and disgrace
I see it written on your face
I hardly knew it was you
Custom jewels and cheap perfume
You're like a rose that's lost its bloom
I hardly knew it was you
You have changed dear through and through
I hardly knew it was you
We could have lived our lives together
But your heart had a mind all its own
What a pity what a shame
I don't know who's to blame
But I hardly knew it was you
