22 by Lily Allen

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
Whenever 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
