LILY ALLEN LYRICS - 22

"22"



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

It seems so unlikely in this day and age
