Lyrics
THE OLDER YOU GET
Jean Mazzei
I?ve waited my life for the perfect man
That?s an oxymoron
Together and happy, that was the plan
Not another mat to put my door on
6 years later and it?s still the same
Where?s happiness that comes with love?
Wake up sister I heard myself saying cuz
?The older you get, the older you get.?
?The older you get, the older you get.?
I wanna live in London, play rock and roll
Eat a bunch of french fries
Jump up and down, throw myself in the pool
Alarm is going off and so am I
I?ve got to grab me the ring that?s brass
If you want me to stay just kiss my ass
Beg me and treat me like a queen
Cuz the older you get, the older you get
The older you get, the older you get
we used to be so good in bed
what got stuck inside your head?
You became your dad and now you?re dead
Well that got stuck inside my head
The older you get, the older you get
the older you get the older you get
The older you get the older you get?
