Today it was explained to me
I understood it finally
Ooooooh
I got the letter in the mail
I saw the stamp
I knew I'd failed
Ooooooh
In a way
In a way it was better than today
It was a special day
It was the last day that I smiled
In a day
In a day
We were made in a day
I used to think this world was for me to save
Ooooooh....
As I grew
And I grew
And everything I knew
It was beyond my hope
It was the same old silly game
Ooooooh
I thought it was the lemonade
But nothing really came to my aid
Nothing really came
It's all a silly game
Oh you silly world
Are you famous to the stars?
Born a little girl
You woke up as a single, MOTHER!?
Just a name
Just a name
Everybody has a name
It's a useful thing but to me they're the same
Ooooooh
All alone
All alone
And I'm waiting at the phone
As the seconds pass I grow heavy like a stone
Ooooooh
.
I wish it was the time of year
But everything was crystal and clear
Everything was clear
Nothing more to fear
Oh you silly world
Are you famous to the stars?
Born a little girl
I remembered everything you said
You woke up on the other side of the bed
Oh you world
Sleep
All you can
You'll wake up as a single, MOTHER!?
