Slim Pickings

I was so naive, I was thinking that I'd have it and run

And I'd relive my twenties, find the old me after what I'd become

But my eyes were soon opened wide at the sight staring back at me

Guess I'll hope and pray, that soon one day that I'll find serenity

Cuz there ain't nothin left for me, slim pickings

Stuck at 33, slim pickings

Aint no place I wanna be, slim pickings

Guess I'll have to wait and see

If there's somebody for me

I told myself to keep trying, things would be better oh so soon

And I'd find me a real nice guy who'd fly me close to the moon

But reality struck and I hoped my damn luck was about to change

But these men, they mess around time again, and they say babe you're the one that's strange

'Cause there ain't nothin left for me, slim pickings

Stuck at 33, slim pickings

Aint no place I wanna be, slim pickings

Guess I'll have to wait and see

Slim pickings, don't want no, slim pickings

Slim pickings, on my own, slim pickings

Slim pickings, don't want no, slim pickings

Now I've opened my eyes, and I realise I don't need another guy

That I'll stick to what makes me tick, with my old friends here by my side

And I'll take my chance, I'll risk the dance, even if I'm alone

I'll still be, same old me, and I'll walk happily along these old dusty roads

'Cause there ain't nothin left for me, slim pickings

Stuck at 33, slim pickings

Ain't no place I wanna be, slim pickings

Guess I'll have to wait and see

'Cause there ain't nothin left for me, slim pickings

Don't want no slim pickings

Stuck at 33, slim pickings, on my own slim pickings

Aint no place I wanna be, slim pickings

Don't want no slim pickings

Guess I'll have to wait and see

If there's somebody left for me
