	Old enough to be her dad
	But the young men were just mad
	they nursed their grievances
	And she was flattered by his charm
	It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances
	He sent her flowers and limousines
	She was treated like a queen
	Anything she ever wanted
	It was no problem for a man like him
	And everyone expected soon
	That she could ask him for the moon
	If she would wear his ring
	Knowing glances from his friends
	In the homes at the weekends of high society
	But he didn't give a damn
	He never felt more like a man
	And all the time the clock was ticking
	And all would envy
	the older man and his beautiful young wife
	Yes, all would envy
	In a house upon a hill
	She was there with time to kill
	She lived a life she'd only dreamed
	The life was never what it seemed
	To all her friends that she'd ignored
	She denied she was bored
	She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing
	But the clock upon the wall
	That was ticking in the hall
	Always reminded her
	That life was going on as well
	But she was happy and she would swear
	she wouldn't change a thing
	And all would envy
	the older man and his beautiful young wife
	Yes, all would envy
	Now it's 5 o'clock am
	She must have spent the night again
	with that old friend of hers
	She loves to dance
	She's missing more and more these days
	But he's still stuck in his old ways
	Perhaps she needs a little more romance
	But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall
	She must be home soon… soon
	Where a younger man would weep
	He takes a pill and goes to sleep
	Now who would envy
	the older man and his beautiful young wife
	Who would envy?
	Who would envy?

	Old enough to be her dad
