It began in the locker room
a kind of joke
a nasty joke
that no one believed
but everyone thought was true
Her name was Kathy
she was an ordinary kind of girl
an everyday kind of girl
she wasn’t beautiful
but she wasn’t ugly
What they said about her was
it was terribly ugly
the kind of thing that is said
but can never be unsaid
however much we might wish
If we said it here
it would still be ugly
and still be untrue
but however much we might wish
we could never take it back again
Her name was Kathy
she was an ordinary kind of girl
and every day kind of girl
neither beautiful nor ugly
but everyone knew the truth about Kathy
