[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)
