When she was 22, the future looked bright

But 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 thinkin', "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

Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears

'Cause all she wants is a boyfriend

She gets one night stands

She's thinkin', "How did I get here?"

I'm doin' 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
