We were three little girls from school.
One was pretty, one was smart
And one was a borderline fool.
Well she's still good lookin'
That woman hadn't slipped a bit.
The smart one used her head
She made her fortune.
And me, I cross the border every chance I get.

We were the girls of the 50's.
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's.
And more than our names got changed
As the 70's slipped on by.
Now we're 80's ladies.
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried.

We've been educated.
We got liberated.
And had complicating matters with men.
Oh, we've said "I do"
And we've signed "I don't"
And we've sworn we'd never do that again.
Oh, we burned our bras,
And we burned our dinners
And we burned our candles at both ends.
And we've had some children
Who look just like the way we did back then.

Oh, but we're all grown up now.
All grown up,
But none of us could tell you quite how.

We were the girls of the 50's.
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's.
Hunny, more than our names got changed,
As the 70's slipped on by.
Now we're 80's ladies.
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried.

A- my name is Alice.
I'm gonna marry Artie.
We're gonna sell apples
And live in Arkansas.

B- my name is Betty.
I'm gonna marry Bobby.
We're gonna sell beans
And live in Brazil.

C- my name is Connie.
I'm gonna marry Charlie.
We're gonna sell cars
And live in California.

I?m overworked and I?m overweight
I can?t remember when I last had a date
Oh, I didn?t expect it to go down this way

I used to love and I used to be loved
And now love?s a scary thing to think of
Oh, I didn?t expect it to go down this way

I been dating for years, honey, that ain?t natural
I thought by now I?d find my man and settle down
Ain?t a good one left in town
I?m lonely, how in the world did I end up lonely?

I knew life would be hard, but I didn?t know how hard
I thought by now I?d be happy
Who?s happy? Honey, not me
I?m lonely, how in the world did I end up lonely?

Oh, I didn?t expect it to go down this way
No, I didn?t expect it to go down this way
Oh I, I didn?t expect it to go down this way

Do you still get a thrill
When ya see me comin' up the hill?
Honey, now do ya?

Do ya whisper my name
Just to bring a little comfort to ya? Do ya?
Do ya still like the feel of my body lyin' next to ya?
Well, I guess what I'm askin' do you still love me?

Oh, do you lie awake thinkin'
I'm the biggest mistake you ever made?
Honey, now do ya?

And if just by snappin' your fingers
You could snap them fingers
And make it all go away
Honey, now would ya?

Do ya miss me when I'm gone
But sometimes wish that I'd stay gone
Just a little bit longer?
Well, I guess what I'm askin'
Is do you still love me?

'Cause honey, I sure do still love you
At least I think I do
And these questions I'm askin'
You could ask them of me too

Do you still get a thrill
When ya see me comin' up the hill?
Honey, now do ya?

Do ya whisper my name
Just to bring a little comfort to ya?, Do ya?
Do ya still like the feel of my body lyin' next to ya?
Well, I guess what I'm askin' do you still love me?

Do ya? Oh, do ya?
Tell me, do ya?

Husband comes in and he said wife
Turn down the radio turn off the TV listen to me
Let me tell you about my day
So she sits down and she listens and he begins to speak

When I left here this morning I was bound and determined
I was never gonna come back never, never I was running
I was running from you darling I was running from my job
I was running from the kid in me he never knows when to stop
Got as far as the edge of town then I turned my car around
And headed back to you

Husband said wife what do you think, wife said it's very interesting
Before we talk about your day let's talk about mine and she says

When I left here this morning I was bound and determined
I was never gonna come back never, never I was running
I was running from you darling I was running from my job
I was running from some wrinkles and nail cream well stop
And got as far as the edge of town then I turned my car around
And headed back to you

Come here and hold me, tighter
Tell me tomorrow will be brighter
Kiss me, kiss me a little harder
Don't kiss like we?re married kiss me like we're lovers

We looked at each other and we started to grim
This morning it was over this evening we'll start in the loving again

Come here and love me, hold me tighter
Won't you tell me tomorrow will be brighter
Won't you kiss me, kiss me, kiss me a little harder
Don't kiss like we?re married kiss me like we're lovers
And hold me, hold me, hold me

Well there's a nursery rhyme, it's a favorite of mine
About a little girl and some sheep that she could not find
They told her not to worry, they'd come back
Darlin' you're my Shepard, I'm your little lamb
But you ain't always gonna know where I am
Oh but don't you worry, I'll come back

I'll always come back baby to you
I'll always run back, straight to you
I'll never get too far away from you
I'll never get too lost that I can't be found
And I'm never gonna swim too far out, I might drown
And I'll always come back, come back baby to you

Well there's a wooden wonder from a way down under
They call a boomerang, if you handle it right, it'll come back
But you must have had me when you were a boy
'Cause you've got the touch that turns me into a toy
And like a boomerang, I'll come back

Now keep your eyes on the horizon
And when you start to missing me
Just look out your window and there I'll be

'Cause I'll always come back baby to you
I'll always run back, straight to you
I'll never get too far away from you
I'll never get too lost and I can't be found
And I'm never gonna swim too far out, I might drown
And I'll always come back, come back baby to you
I'll always come back, come back baby to you

Money let's me fly to Paris for lunch
And money puts caviar on the crackers I munch
It'll let me buy all kinds of expensive this and that
But I'll tell you a secret about money
I been keepin' under my designer hat

You know, money ain't what I need
A dollar bill can't give me kiss
When a little kiss is all I need
It can't take me for a ride in the country
Or walkin' in the rain

Money never feels any joy
Honey it sure don't feel any pain
I don't need money, all I need is you, oh, oh
Oh, oh, 'cause honey, honey
Honey without you I'd be dining alone

Surrounded by those things I bought
And they still don't make my house my house
What good is drinkin' your coffee from a costly cup
If you're drinkin' it all by yourself when the sun comes up

You know, money ain't what I need
A dollar bill can't give me kiss
When a little kiss is all I need
It can't take me for a ride in the country
Or walkin' in the rain

Money never feels any joy
Honey it sure don't feel any pain
I don't need money, all I need is you, oh, oh
Oh, oh, 'cause honey, honey
Honey without you I'd be dining alone

All I need is you, oh, oh, oh, oh
Honey, honey don't need money
All I need is you
