Wanda's Song (If You Were Me) Play the song: The song grew into a national movement in 2007 called the Wanda Project, linking groups for school-age anti-bullying. Here's a description of the Project in its early stages. The song by Nashville-based brothers group, The Readings -- Chris and Eric, about regret after bullying-influenced suicide, but with the profound question in the chorus that applies to the adult workplace, a question to be asked of all bullies ... Would you do the things you do if you were me and I were you? Lyrics to Wanda's Song (If You Were Me) Chris Reading, Eric Reading, John Paul Lourence © 2004 Back, Back, Back Music. All rights reserved. Wanda was the one girl we claimed we never knew Lincoln High School's homely-coming queen She barely graduated with the class of '92 Voted most unlikely to succeed Rumor had it Wanda never knew who her daddy was At least that's what we spread all over town I guess we always thought that we were building ourselves up With the sticks and stones we threw to break her down All the years we thought it didn't matter Cuz we never saw her cry And Wanda never asked us Chorus Why, do you hurt me, and treat me like you do What have I ever done to, deserve this, from you Would you do the things you do If you were me and I were you Looking back I see the pain that we put Wanda thru And just where all the fun and games were leading We didn't realize the damage sticks and stones would do Cuz it was deep inside Wanda was bleeding The paper said her death was self-inflicted But was it suicide? Cuz the note she wrote said ... Repeat Chorus Bridge For every action there's reaction Broken hearts don't just happen If you put yourself in their position There's no good answer to the question ... Repeat Chorus Tag: Wanda was the one girl we claimed we never knew
