Lily Allen - 22 lyrics

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
