This song tells the story of a beautiful girl who has had a rough life and left town. The singer recalls meeting her years ago crying on the street late at night and feeling pulled to stop and talk to her. Though she said goodbye, he still wants her even after she has returned to town, wondering if she will remember or acknowledge him. The chorus reflects that she has been through hard times but he is still drawn to her when she walks by.

She’s been to hell (V1) She’s been to Queens There was a girl; plays make believe She’s danced on stage Said she loved me, but then she leaves In New Orleans She’s hangin out ; making the scene In every bar I don’t buy her lies; I know where she’s With every guy been But I still want her When she walks by (Prechorus) Beautiful girl beyond a doubt (V3) A life so rough she wanted out She’s back in town with no regret Took all she had and headed south Walking t’wards me I start to sweat If only I’d known what she was about Will she remember; did she forget Will she walk right past me like we (Chorus) never met She’s been to hell She’s been to Queens (Prechorus) She’s danced on stage Beautiful girl beyond a doubt In New Orleans A life so rough she wanted out In every bar Took all she had and headed south With every guy If only I’d known what she was about But I still want her When she walks by (Chorus) Ohhh,…beautiful girl…beautiful girl She’s been to hell She’s been to Queens (V2) She’s danced on stage Met her years ago, it was late at night In New Orleans Sitting in the street with tears in her eyes In every bar She pulled at my heart; I couldn’t walk With every guy by But I still want her I stopped and talked; then she said When she walks by good-bye (Outro) (Prechorus) I should have told her way back then Beautiful girl beyond a doubt Beautiful girl A life so rough she wanted out Beautiful girl Took all she had and headed south Beautiful girl If only I’d known what she was about Beautiful girl
