Lyrics

[00:05.10] When she was 22 the future looked bright
[00:12.38] But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
[00:19.75] I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye
[00:26.38] She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
[00:33.57]
[00:34.20] It's sad but it's true how society says
[00:37.48] Her life is already over
[00:41.52] There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
[00:48.45] Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up
[00:52.06] and puts her over his shoulder
[00:56.13] It seems so unlikely in this day and age
[01:01.58]
[01:03.54] She's got an alright job but it's not a career
[01:10.85] Wherever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
[01:17.70] Cause all she wants is a boyfriend
[01:21.79] She gets one-night stands
[01:24.94] She's thinking how did I get here
[01:28.68] I'm doing all that I can
[01:32.01]
[01:32.81] It's sad but it's true how society says
[01:36.08] Her life is already over
[01:40.19] There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
[01:47.06] Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up
[01:50.75] and puts her over his shoulder
[01:54.75] It seems so unlikely in this day and age
[02:12.86]
[02:16.67] It's sad but it's true how society says
[02:19.99] Her life is already over
[02:24.01] There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
[02:30.98] Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up
[02:34.95] and puts her over his shoulder
[02:38.69] It seems so unlikely in this day and age
[02:50.05]
