She was cute, but not too cute
An average girl in combat boots
She photographed the punk rock bands that came through town
Another time, another place
Another fist aimed at my face
But now and then, I wonder if she's still around

Does she publish her own zine
Or does she work for Seventeen?
Is she married, is she rich
Or selling crack to teenage kids?
When I've been kicked, while I am down
I wonder if she left that town

I wonder, whatever happened to Pauline?
Whatever happened to Pauline?
Whatever happened to Pauline?
Wanna know
Whatever happened to Pauline?
