Dark eyes, long face
Long nights that fall into longer days
The phone rings and then again
Tell me Joe, how did this all begin?
And she held on
I guess we all do
Yes, she held on
Like I'm holding onto you
But she let go
Why can't I do the same?
What is this life I'm in?
How did it all begin?
Being seventeen isn't easy
It takes work to beautify yourself
It takes work to make yourself feel like an intellect
And don't you love the way the sun hits on my face?
I have this beauty
I can't explain it
You either have it or you don't
*Spoken* And obviously I have it!
*Sung*And it is easy to see why I love my life
Well, if you take away my mother
My crazy mother
*Spoken* My "well why don't we just throw your father out
of our lives one perfect morning so you have nobody to walk you
into homecoming court" mother!
*Sung*
I'm thirty-five, which means I'm old
I'm thiry-five, which means I'm almost forty
Which means I'm almost menopausel
Exactly like my mother
And the day that I discover
That I've become that woman
That eccentric, controlling, painfully-contradicting, slighty conniving,
overly-critical, blantently honest, morbidly
dramatic woman
I swear I'll kill myself
I'm twenty-six and I'm alone
Well, I've got my cat and I've got my fish
Three pretty fish...well, only one as of this morning
But I'm fine being alone cause I've got goals
And goals take time and I've got time
Which leaves me ltos of time for my goals
But I promise you I'm extremely happy with my life
Well, if you take away my mother
My Jewish mother
*Spoken* My "you'll never find a husband if you eat that entire butterfinger" mother!
*Sung*
A lost soul hides a lost child
I need a saviour
Joe, we're you my saviour?
Being seventeen isn't easy
It takes work, lots and lots of work
The day I start becoming her
That day my life will end
I've got time, time for goals
Lots and lots and lots of time
What is this life I'm in?
How did it all begin?
Begin
How did it all begin?
