When your parents married, they were just twenty-one
Now you're going on twenty
You've got plenty of regrets
You don't want this to be one
No one ever liked you
So if you don't act fast, you'll forever be lonely
Dig your nails into those hands
This is your only chance
You're expecting too much
Maybe that's what they want from you
You're expecting too much
But you know what you gotta do
You're on your own, don't count on it
You're on your own, don't count
You're getting old, don't count on it
You're getting old, don't count
A woman you'll be and a woman you'll stay
A wife and a mother, a home you will make
There's floors to be swept and there's cookies to bake
And nothing but all of your whole life at stake
Find the one to have and hold
Risk your life to keep them close
Doomed if you don't get that ring by spring
Risk your life for the important things
You're expecting too much
Maybe that's what they want from you
You're expecting too much
But you know what you gotta do
You're on your own, don't count on it
You're on your own, don't count
You're getting old, don't count on it
You're getting old, don't count
You're on your own, don't count on it
You're on your own
No one ever liked you
