Lyrics

0:14My girl if you're lucky one day
0:20Rolling down the ancient high street you'll find
0:25In the mirror reflects a woman in her prime
0:29Can you make your way out
0:31In a world dearly won
0:33Well it's yours love
0:34You can move it around
0:37Given all the drops in the ocean
0:41Better take it one sip at a time
0:45Somebody with an antique notion
0:49Comes along to tighten the line
0:52They're just afraid of you speaking your mind
0:59They've got a name for you girls
1:03What's in a name
1:07They got a name for everything
1:11All of the clothes that you wear
1:15And all of your bits and pieces yeah
1:23You're flipping through the check-stand rags it appears
1:28There ain't no time to waste you're getting on in years
1:32You can keep your can up
1:34If you just never eat again
1:37It's a means to a terrible end
1:40Even if your plan is successful
1:44Have you really got room in your life
1:48Yeah and it's a bland kind of torture
1:52You've played the mother and wife
1:55But what do you really dream of at night
2:03They've got a name for you girls
2:06What's in a name
2:10They've got a name for you girls
2:14What's in a name
2:18They got a name for everything
2:22All of the clothes that you wear
2:26And all of your bits and pieces yeah
2:36They've got a name for you girls
2:39Some stupid name
2:44They've got a name for you girls
2:47What's in a name
2:51What's in a name
2:55What's in a name
2:59What's in a name
3:03What's in a name
My girl if you're lucky one day
Rolling down the ancient high street you'll find
In the mirror reflects a woman in her prime
Can you make your way out
In a world dearly won
Well it's yours love
You can move it around
Given all the drops in the ocean
Better take it one sip at a time
Somebody with an antique notion
Comes along to tighten the line
They're just afraid of you speaking your mind
They've got a name for you girls
What's in a name
They got a name for everything
All of the clothes that you wear
And all of your bits and pieces yeah
You're flipping through the check-stand rags it appears
There ain't no time to waste you're getting on in years
You can keep your can up
If you just never eat again
It's a means to a terrible end
Even if your plan is successful
Have you really got room in your life
Yeah and it's a bland kind of torture
You've played the mother and wife
But what do you really dream of at night
They've got a name for you girls
What's in a name
They've got a name for you girls
What's in a name
They got a name for everything
All of the clothes that you wear
And all of your bits and pieces yeah
They've got a name for you girls
Some stupid name
They've got a name for you girls
What's in a name
What's in a name
What's in a name
What's in a name
What's in a name
