About Judy Lyrics

It was ten year class reunion

And I was there to reconnect

With all the guys and girls who were now men and women

The jocks, the preppies, stoners all in retrospect

Everybody asked about the ones who weren't there

At least the ones they could recall

They asked about everyone they might have loved or hated

But I noticed that no one at all ever asked about Judy

No one asked what she'd been doing

No one asked where she had gone

No one asked about all the dough she might have made

Or why she'd changed her hair from short to long

No one asked about the love she might have found

Or all the schools that she'd gone to

It's sad but true

Nobody asked about Judy

She was the quiet one

She always kept things to herself

And no one knew her hopes and fears

And all the time I knew her - swear she never said a word

Though we walked the same halls for four damn years

She always sat in this corner of the quad day after day

There was a sadness in her eyes

And ten years later I'm standing in a bar downtown

And wondering why no one asked about Judy

As the years go by I always wonder why I never tried to be her friend

I never told her "hi" when she passed me by in the halls everyday

And when I saw her crying after school that one day all alone and scared

I didn't put my arms around her so she'd know that someone cared

No one asked what she'd been doing

No one asked where she had gone

No one asked about all the dough she might have made

Or why she'd changed her hair from short to long

No one asked about the love she might have found

Or all the schools that she'd gone to

It's sad but true

Nobody asked about Judy
