Used to be my very best friend
We went everywhere together
Even shared a boyfriend once or twiceShe was never satisfied
Nothing 'round here suited her
She never phones, she never writes
Old friend that ain't rightShe don't talk like us no more
She done run off and got certified
She don't act like us no more since she moved awayUsing words she never used before
She's almost as skinny as a movie star
She don't even walk like us no moreNow when she visits you'd think
Minor royalty'd come to town
All she does is talk about the city
And she puts all the local stuff downShe never asks me how I've been
Or what I've been up to, it's a lesson in geography
Ain't it amazing what a few miles can doShe don't talk like us no more
She done run off and got certified
She don't act like us no more since she moved awayUsing words she never used before
She's almost as skinny as a movie star
She don't even walk like us no moreI don't believe how uppity she's gotten, do you believe it?
Honey, who, who does she think she is?
Yeah, I don't believe how uppity she's gotten, do you believe it?
Oh honey, who, who does she think is?
