lyrics

Every time she asked a mirror, it's reply told her she was older, and that's not what she wants
Every time she glanced over, nobody's eyes were fixed on her, and that's not what she wants
There's not a face in there she doesn't know. Not a story to them that she hasn't told, and that's not what she wants
She needs something new to play with: wants something clean. Wants a Ken to her Barbie, wants a Torvill to her Dean – but we know you don't always get what you want

Lo and behold time took its toll on her
Lo and behold nobody cares
Lo and behold the ice is thinning around her
Lo and behold somebody put hold on her prayers

It's the final straw that broke her confidence – one more drink for the road, but there's just no chance. She just sits as the years go by
Sitting on the fence you'll get splinters in your ass – got to pick and choose, got to take it or pass – but she sits as the years go by
This constant repetition's getting boring. She needs some fresh meat now or she'll be snoring – but she sits as the years go by
It's the final chance to put her goods on the line – she says "beauty matures just like fine wine", but she sits and watches as her vineyard runs dry

Lo and behold time took its toll on her
Lo and behold nobody cares
Lo and behold the ice is thinning around her
Lo and behold somebody put hold on her prayers
