Lyrics
Oh! Good God, it's later than she thought I guess it's time to start the daily grind So many villains to be fought Who try to tear apart a peace of mind She applies the war paint to her face Puts on her armor with uncommon grace The elevator comes and she steps on And she wonders where the good times gone 'Cause they're not giving no free rides They don't lay their glitz on you Just spinning B-sides They don't waste their hits on you Try to bust out, they put you back in your cage When you're a woman of a certain age Oh lord, my feet are falling off Still got a thousand miles in front of me I walk the city street, I cough Guess these lungs just ain't what they used to be I see a hobo begging over there "Here, have a dollar buddy, life ain't far" "Oh no, mamma hang onto your charity" "Looks like you need it more than me" 'Cause they're not giving no free rides They don't lay their glitz on you Just spinning B-sides They don't waste their hits on you Try to bust out, they put you back in your cage When you're a woman of a certain age Walk into the room, into the den of the firing squad Feel the rise of doom and say amen, try to maintain a facade Of cool Stay cool Woman, you better stay cool 'Cause they're not giving no free rides They don't lay their glitz on you Just spinning B-sides They don't waste their hits on you Try to bust out, they put you back in your cage When you're a woman of a certain age They don't do you no favors Or hand you no goodie bags Sick of your flavor They think that you're just a drag Everyone laughs while you'll be seething with rage When you're a woman of a certain They don't give you no free rides Just spinning B-sides Singing your song, they kick you off of the stage When you're a woman of a certain Woman of a certain Woman of a certain age When you're a woman of a certain age When you're a woman A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-age
