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.
Till 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.
Whenever 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.
Till 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.
