Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, Dorothea
Do you ever stop and think about me?
When we were younger
Down in the park
Honey, making a lark of the misery
You got shiny friends since you left town
A tiny screen's the only place I see you now
And I got nothing but well wishes for ya
[Verse 2]
Oooh
This place is the same as it ever was
Oooh
But you won't like it that way
[Verse 3]
It's never too late to come back to my side
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
And if you're ever tired of being known for who you know
You know you'll always know me
Dorothea
Dorothea
[Verse 4]
Ooh, you're a queen
Selling dreams
Selling make up and magazines
Ooh, from you I'd buy anything
[Verse 5]
Hey, Dorothea
Do you ever stop and think about me?
When it was calmer
Skipping the prom just to piss off your mom
And her pageant schemes
And, damn, Dorothea, they all wanna be ya
But are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers?
[Verse 6]
Well, oooh
I guess I'll never know
Oooh
And you'll go on with the show
[Verse 7]
But it's never too late to come back to my side
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
And if you're ever tired of being known for who you know
You know you'll always know me
[Verse 8]
Dorothea
Dorothea
[Verse 9]
Oooh...
Dorothea, ah ah
Ah, ah ah
