Ring By Spring Lyrics

When your parents married, they were just twenty-one

Now you're going on twenty

You've got plenty of regrets

You don't want this to be one

No one ever liked you

So if you don't act fast, you'll forever be lonely

Dig your nails into those hands

This is your only chance

You're expecting too much

Maybe that's what they want from you

You're expecting too much

But you know what you gotta do

You're on your own, don't count on it

You're on your own, don't count

You're getting old, don't count on it

You're getting old, don't count

A woman you'll be and a woman you'll stay

A wife and a mother, a home you will make

There's floors to be swept and there's cookies to bake

And nothing but all of your whole life at stake

Find the one to have and hold

Risk your life to keep them close

Doomed if you don't get that ring by spring

Risk your life for the important things

You're expecting too much

Maybe that's what they want from you

You're expecting too much

But you know what you gotta do

You're on your own, don't count on it

You're on your own, don't count

You're getting old, don't count on it

You're getting old, don't count

You're on your own, don't count on it

You're on your own

No one ever liked you
