Lyrics
BACK PAGE GIRL
Nothing that you?ve been saying
has relevance here babe
You?re just proving my point
by rambling on
the way you do
Your life and your looks
may fill few books
that?s true babe
but there ain?t no story
when you read between the lines
Your Ma and your Pa gave you a nice car
and a country to call your own
Guaranteed success for their
little princess
but I guess you?ll never know
what it?s like
to fight for the right
to call your life your very own
you?ve grown into
a back page girl
yes you?ve grown into
a back page girl
Mary, Mary quite contrary
in your garden grows
nothing but weeds that
grew from seeds
planted 20 years ago
put on the face
and storm the place
in all your brand new clothes
you?ve grown into
a back page girl
yes you?ve grown into
a back page girl
Maybe one day you?ll
have learned enough
to know
you were too busy
to notice your life pass you by
nice and slow
Sooner or later
we all have to face
all the things we let go
maybe I?ll see it
in one of your TV reality shows
Everywhere you?ll find
There?s warning signs
but the chances aren?t that great
you?d ever understand them
even if they landed on your plate
but hey it?s none of my business
and it?s probably too late
for you?ve grown into
a back page girl
yes you?ve grown into
a back page girl
