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