The World Is Gonna Win

The World Is Gonna Win

She lies about her age so they let her in

She sneaks out after dark to see her new boyfriend

I don’t recognize the names on the marquee

I hope she doesn’t fall for guys anything like me

She keeps her fingers crossed

She thinks she’s found the one

Why am I surprised?

I knew this day would come

I can’t keep this from happening

Looks like the world is going to win

I can feel it closing in

I wish he was a creep but he’s a gentleman

She’s skinny and tall

He only comes up to her chin

The training wheels are off

Now she’s on her own

She treats me like a child

I guess I should have known

I can’t keep this from happening

Looks like the world is going to win

I can feel it closing in

It’s for her own good

At least that’s what I’m told

Watching her grow up sure makes me feel old
