Love the girl with the broken smile
And lonely eyes that seem to look for miles
She built a wall and she's guarded now
She was hurt somewhere, somehow
Life and love have left her alone She's been through more than you will ever know
So take your time and treat her well
She's a guarded girl

Love the girl with the suspicious mind
A girl like her is hard to find
So many nights she sat and cried By herself and wondering why
Life and love have left her alone She's been through more than you will ever know
Just be kind and be yourself
She's a guarded girl

So love her gently
Love her true
Hold her always
I'm telling you
Then just maybe she'll let you in
Share the secrets and where she's been
Only hoping you're the man
And maybe somehow you can understand
She's a guarded girl
She's a guarded girl
