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

Until 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

Until 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

Until 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
