Well she was precious, like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
Stupid boy, it's like holdin' back the wind
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy
Stupid boy, oh
So, what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down, oh
Well, She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, you always had to be right
But now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive, oh ho
Yeah, yeah
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands, yeah
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans, yes you did
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy, mm
It took a while for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone
Mmhm
Ah, she was gone
She's long gone
Mm, yes, she is
Yeah, oh
Oh, no ones ever going to love me like she loved me
And she loved and she loved me
God, please, just let her know
I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
Yeah, I'm down on my knees
She's never coming back to me
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
Stupid boy, it's like holdin' back the wind
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy
Stupid boy, oh
So, what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down, oh
Well, She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, you always had to be right
But now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive, oh ho
Yeah, yeah
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands, yeah
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans, yes you did
She never even knew she had a choice
And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy
Oh, I'm the same old, same old stupid boy, mm

Mmhm
Ah, she was gone
She's long gone
Mm, yes, she is
Yeah, oh
Oh, no ones ever going to love me like she loved me
And she loved and she loved me
God, please, just let her know
I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
Yeah, I'm down on my knees
She's never coming back to me

Basically the whole stupid boy is him talking to himself(the subject) about how stupid he was for letting this girl go. She 'let her heart and soul ride in your hands' means that she put a ton of effort into things and let him have every bit of her and trusted him with her heart...then he demolished every bit of what she had given.
He thought he could do whatever he wanted to her, tell her what to do, push her around and basically treat her like she was second string...then after awhile she got tired of it all and ran away from it all, she left him with her heart and dreams broken.
Basically he controlled her life, telling her what she could and couldnt do...now he realizes that shes gone and that she was truly in love with him and trusted him with everything she had and now shes gone and theres nothing he can do and knows he was wrong for what he did. stupid boy.
what a great song, musically, lyrically...it all comes together.
The reason why is that we know Keith Urban's current wife is Nicole Kidman, who was previously married to Tom Cruise. There are all kinds of stories about Tom Cruise being controlling, including over his current wife Katie Holmes and stuff. It's rumored that after Nicole Kidman split with Tom Cruise that she started doing stuff that she didnt before (like for example wear high heels, which she didnt before because she was so much taller that Tom Cruise).
Yeah, I know, I watch wayy too much Entertainment Tonight.
Did anyone else think the same thing?
(By the way, beautiful song! One of my favorites!)
By the end of the song you realize that Keith Urban, or narrator, is the "stupid boy" because he says "oh im the same old, same old stupid boy."
