Jean was a heartbreaker in her day Carefree and dancing the night away Then she turned 41 oh oh oh Had her moment in the sun oh oh oh Now she eats all alone And talks to her best friend on the phone
She wakes up at 6:30 everyday And heads off to work at the Blue Cafe But the money's not enough oh oh oh And her clothes are lookin' rough oh oh oh And her car needs an alternator When will it all let up
And her single apartment's closing in Her loneliness won't give way All the girls on the TV look so thin And she's already turnin' gray And the guy that she met on the internet He turned out to be a creep She says "God I've got so many dreams to share, If you'd send me a good man to keep"
At Christmas, she flies out to Illinois She treasures the time with her sister’s boys She was unlucky in love oh oh oh Now the years are catchin' up oh oh oh And at 3 AM sometimes it's just a little too much
