Poor Ol' sally Ann
Tonight's gonna be the night
She'll get it right
She's kept herself all up to date
Her clothes that she got from Rhodes
Are all in vogue
She's hoping that she's not too late
And I can't understand
How it all got out of hand
And poor ol' Sally Ann needs a man
It seems just another dream
Float down a stream
Water wets - while fire, it burns
She'll crawl up and down the wall
Just watch her fall
She's still got a whole lot to learn
And I can't understand
How it all got out of hand
And poor ol' Sally Ann needs a man
Her face it gives away no trace
Of all the pain however plain
The bells they tell with every chime
Of ghosts and boats of passing time
To and fro, way they go
She took one second look
Tore up her book
'Dating for Dummies' can't fail
Oh bliss, what a holy kiss
Saved for her prince
But life ain't no fairy tale
And I can't understand
How it all got out of hand
And poor ol' Sally Ann needs a man
Her tears can't hide away her fears
And all her pain is love in vain
Up docks with jocks the stage is set
That's what you got surfing the Net
To and fro, what a ho
Her friends always said she was lame
And her parents they felt the same
Still I must admit I feel ashamed
For poor ol' Sally Ann
Life flies by
It gives her the chills
Her sisters got husbands
But she got pills on the shelf
To and fro, what a show
Tonight's gonna be the night
She'll hold on tight
To dreams that never come true
They say there will be a day
She'll get her way
Fingers crossed, but what's the use?
And I can't understand
How it all got out of hand
And poor ol' Sally Ann needs a man
And I can't understand (I can't understand)
How it all got out of hand
And poor ol' Sally Ann needs a man
She'll get it right
She's kept herself all up to date
Her clothes that she got from Rhodes
Are all in vogue
She's hoping that she's not too late
And I can't understand
How it all got out of hand
And poor ol' Sally Ann needs a man
It seems just another dream
Float down a stream
Water wets - while fire, it burns
She'll crawl up and down the wall
Just watch her fall
She's still got a whole lot to learn
And I can't understand
How it all got out of hand
And poor ol' Sally Ann needs a man
Her face it gives away no trace
Of all the pain however plain
The bells they tell with every chime
Of ghosts and boats of passing time
To and fro, way they go

Oh bliss, what a holy kiss

And I can't understand (I can't understand)
How it all got out of hand
And poor ol' Sally Ann needs a man
