Lyrics
0:05When she was 22 the future looked bright
0:12But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
0:20I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye
0:27She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
0:34It's sad but it's true how society says
0:38Her life is already over
0:42There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
0:49Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up
0:52And puts her over his shoulder
0:56It seems so unlikely in this day and age
1:04She's got an alright job but it's not a career
1:11Wherever she thinks about it' it brings her to tears
1:17Cause all she wants is a boyfriend
1:21She gets one-night stands
1:25She's thinking how did I get here
1:29I'm doing all that I can
1:34It's sad but it's true how society says
1:37Her life is already over
1:41There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
1:47Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up
1:51And puts her over his shoulder
1:55It seems so unlikely in this day and age
2:17It's sad but it's true how society says
2:20Her life is already over
2:24There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
2:31Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up
2:35And puts her over his shoulder
2:39It seems so unlikely in this day and age
When she was 22 the future looked bright But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why It's sad but it's true how society says Her life is already over There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up And puts her over his shoulder It seems so unlikely in this day and age She's got an alright job but it's not a career Wherever she thinks about it' it brings her to tears Cause all she wants is a boyfriend She gets one-night stands She's thinking how did I get here I'm doing all that I can It's sad but it's true how society says Her life is already over There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up And puts her over his shoulder It seems so unlikely in this day and age It's sad but it's true how society says Her life is already over There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up And puts her over his shoulder It seems so unlikely in this day and age
