When she was
twenty-two
the future looked bright

She's nearly thirty
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, over

There's nothing to do
and there's nothing
to say...

Until the man of her
dreams comes along,
picks her up and puts
her over his shoulder,
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, over

There's nothing to do
and there's nothing
to say...

Until the man of her
dreams comes along,
picks her up and puts
her over his shoulder,
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, over

There's nothing to do
and there's nothing
to say...

Until the man of her
dreams comes along,
picks her up and puts
her over his shoulder,
shoulder

It seems so unlikely
in this day and age
