Title:22 Artist:Lily Allen Album:It's Not Me, It's You

Lily Allen - 22 Lyrics

Songwriters: Allen, Lily;Kurstin, Gregory

Customize:

When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why

It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

She's got an alright job but it's not a career
Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
'Cause all she wants is a boyfriend, she gets one night stands
[ Lily Allen Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
She's thinking how did I get here, I'm doing all that I can

It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye

Sounds like my wifes life: with 22 being kind of prudent. Later finding no real boyfriend and starting to dabble in one night stands and a relationship with her best friends husband and other unfaithfull men...

After that another 4 years a bad relationship with a boyfriend before finally breaking up and going on a holiday to relax and find me at the age of 36.

We are happily married and have 2 kids.

So it still can happen for her!

Over reacting everybody?
I think she is saying she hopes she isn't single when she is older?
I am not sure, but she definately isn't thinking everybody else is sad because they don't have partners, she is recognising that people think that, not that she has that view.
Give her a break, and stop being so negative?

I reckon its grooooovy baby. I'm a
decent 30y-o male and looking for a lovely emmotionally mature girlfriend who has got past all of the immature crap of the late teens and early 2o's and want to find a person who has half a clue about themselves and what they truly want. Go girl, I know I want you!!! (generically speaking) yeah baby yeah.....You are not the victim here though, the male who longs for your rare patient quality is painfully waiting to find a rare gem just like you MWA!

Some people need up read the lyrics properly... She's not agreeing with what society says she's just saying it's true that society thinks that. It's only a song. You must not have better things to do with your time than complain over some lyrics. Do you go through every other song lyrics that reflects your life and complain over it because you don't like to hear the truth... This song is mint! And also extremely catchy to sing to!!

acctually she's singing it about a friend that is nearly 30 and her life doesn't have much direction and she still parties all the time like she did when she was 22. i heard an interview with her on the radio.

OMG it's like Lily Allen's only song that she isn't swearing in! Which is really good cause some of her songs are just little mean things about people like her song **** You

i love this song; it's so catchy!! ps. can someone tell me why when i downloaded it from iTunes it says "EXPLICIT". i know what it means, but i can't find any bad language or anything else bad. this song would be rated like [G] LOL

im so impressed-its a shockingly tasteful and intelligent song-she combines intelligence, with a youthful vibe, a graceful and elegant manner to convey extremely deep and thoughtful messages-i to this second have shivers all down my spine-the lyrics reconfirm my biggest favours-but i have fallen inlove with lily!xxxxxxxxx
