Lyrics

[Verse 1] My girl, if you're lucky one day Rolling down the ancient high street you'll find In the mirror reflects a woman in her prime Can you make your way out in a world dearly won? Well, it's yours love, you can move it around [Pre-Chorus] Given all the drops in the ocean Gonna take it one sip at a time Somebody with an antique notion Come along to tighten the line He's just afraid of you speaking your mind [Chorus] They've got a name for you girls What's in a name? (Blah, blah, blah, blah) They got a name for everything All of the clothes that you wear And all of your bits and pieces, yeah [Verse 2] You're flipping through the check-stand rags, it appears There ain't no time to waste, you're getting on in years You can keep your can up if you just never eat again It's a means to a terrible end [Pre-Chorus] Even if your plan is successful Have you really got room in your life? Yeah, and it's a bland kind of torture You've played the mother and wife But what do you really dream of at night? [Chorus] They've got a name for you girls What's in a name? (Blah, blah, blah, blah) They've got a name for you girls What's in a name? (Blah, blah, blah, blah) They got a name for everything All of the clothes that you wear And all of your bits and pieces, yeah [Outro] They've got a name for you girls Some stupid name (Blah, blah, blah, blah) They've got a name for you girls What's in a name? (Blah, blah, blah, blah) What's in a name? (Blah, blah, blah, blah) (For you girls) What's in a name? (For you girls) What's in a name? (For you girls) What's in a name? (For you girls)
