Lo and Behold
Every time she asked a mirror, it's reply told her she was older
And that's not what she wants
Every time she glanced over, nobody's eyes were fixed on her
And that's not what she wants
There's not a face in there she doesn't know
Not a story to them that she hasn't told, and that's not what she wants
She needs something new to play with: wants something clean
Wants a Ken to her Barbie, wants a Torvill to her Dean
But we know you don't always get what you want
Lo and behold time took its toll on her
Lo and behold nobody cares
Lo and behold the ice is thinning around her
Lo and behold somebody put hold on her prayers
It's the final straw that broke her confidence
One more drink for the road, but there's just no chance
She just sits as the years go by
Sitting on the fence you'll get splinters in your ass
Got to pick and choose, got to take it or pass
But she sits as the years go by
This constant repetition's getting boring
She needs some fresh meat now or she'll be snoring
But she sits as the years go by
It's the final chance to put her goods on the line
She says "beauty matures just like fine wine"
But she sits and watches as her vineyard runs dry
Lo and behold time took its toll on her
Lo and behold nobody cares
Lo and behold the ice is thinning around her
Lo and behold somebody put hold on her prayers
And that's not what she wants
Every time she glanced over, nobody's eyes were fixed on her
And that's not what she wants
There's not a face in there she doesn't know
Not a story to them that she hasn't told, and that's not what she wants
She needs something new to play with: wants something clean
Wants a Ken to her Barbie, wants a Torvill to her Dean
But we know you don't always get what you want
Lo and behold time took its toll on her
Lo and behold nobody cares
Lo and behold the ice is thinning around her
Lo and behold somebody put hold on her prayers
It's the final straw that broke her confidence
One more drink for the road, but there's just no chance
She just sits as the years go by
Sitting on the fence you'll get splinters in your ass
Got to pick and choose, got to take it or pass
But she sits as the years go by
This constant repetition's getting boring
She needs some fresh meat now or she'll be snoring
But she sits as the years go by
It's the final chance to put her goods on the line
She says "beauty matures just like fine wine"
But she sits and watches as her vineyard runs dry
Lo and behold time took its toll on her
Lo and behold nobody cares
Lo and behold the ice is thinning around her
Lo and behold somebody put hold on her prayers
