Other Plans Lyrics

I like to sleep in on the weekends

It makes up for waking up at seven am

But when the phone pings at eight fifteen

I can't fall asleep again

Sometimes life has other plans

Sometimes life has other plans

Friday night I met a girl named Mary Ellen

She rents a place at a good rate in Brooklyn

But will I think about Mary Ellen

When I sing about Maryanne

Sometimes life has other plans

Sometimes life has other plans

I know a girl who lives at home so she can go traveling

She showed me pictures of her in a far off land

We're almost at the point where we can hold hands

Sometimes she has other plans

Sometimes she has other plans
