Do you ever hear a song that just hits you? Just way too much about you? This one is hitting me far too hard right now.
Jenny's got a job,
a cat named Jake,
31 candles on her birthday cake
Next year
Thought by now she'd have a man
Two car seats and a minivan
But it still ain't here (hey!)
She's been lookin' for Mr. Right so long
But all she's found is Mr. Wrong
That's the pitts
She's drawn a line that she won't cross
Her and time are facing off
She says something's gotta give
[Chorus]
Something's gotta give me butterflies
Something's gotta make me feel alive
Something's gotta give me dreams at night
Something's gotta make me feel alrightI
don't know where it is
But something's gotta give
Friday night she had a date
Cell phone junky a half hour late
That's the biz baby
She's riding out the twists of fate
She's had all that she can take
She says something's gotta give
Yeah, the age songs are really getting to me this year. There's that one from the 80s with a line something like "15's now turned 31" or something like that, about how you still have to rock it, like 31 is so old. I think it was, in 1985, but it just doesn't feel so old to me now. I know the song by heart, but I'm blanking on the name.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's the fact that I shouldn't identify with "Dancing Queen" anymore, but I *want* to! :)
Personally, I refuse to ever be so old that I can't identify with "Dancing Queen!"
