Divorcee by 23 — текст песни (Clare Bowditch And The Feeding Set)

Well it seems you`ve got a baby girl to a man
who will not love you well
and you`re walking down Brunswick street
and you`re buying the baby`s tears with treats.

You look perfect, you look fine
and you hold it together most of the time
but when the baby`s crying
and you know, he`s lying...

He was the best looking boy you`d known
so you married him and made him home.
Dropped out of university
all because he said Well Honey, you`re pretty.

Yes, you are pretty but you are not fine
`cause you`ve forgotten you`re partly Divine
and if you don`t start crying,
you may never shine.

Step on out of line,
Outside the square
I dare you
To just not give a damn.
`Cause people won`t understand?
Don`t let them scare you.

You play boy games and he plays girl games
and every Saturday, you swap over again,
and you wonder why he Just don`t hear!.
Are you saying it loud, are you making it clear
or are you hiding away,
behind all those perfect things that you say?

You know that you don`t wanna be,
You don`t wanna be,
You don`t wanna be,
You don`t wanna be no divorcee by 23.
Well is that your best reason to stay?
You`re worried about what your brothers` friends`
mothers` might one day say?

Step on out of line,
Outside the square
I dare you
To just not give a damn.
`Cause people won`t understand?
Don`t let them scare you.

You really should step on out of line,
Outside the square
I dare you
To go confront your man
Help him understand these subtleties about you.

You don`t wanna be,
You don`t wanna be,
You don`t wanna be,
You don`t wanna be no divorcee by 23.
Well is that your best reason to stay?
Think about what your baby girl might one day say.
