Lyrics
When did my freckles turn to age spots?
My baby fat to cellulite?
My estrogen is dropping a lot
Increasing instability
I?m just a forty-something female, you see
The heads still turn to look us over
When we?re walking down the street
Still got that jiggle but it?s lower
Than it ever used to be
Forty-something female
Headstrong at times we must confess
Forty-something female
Strength retained from all those years we?ve endured PMS
So arm yourselves with creams and potions
Try out an exercise machine
Maybe a treadmill or a rower
Will keep us fitting in our jeans
Now that we?re forty-something females indeed
Forty-something female
Our twenties and our thirties, we?re gonna miss
Forty-something female
Now we?ll spend our hard-earned cash on electrolysis
Don?t under-estimate it sisters
Your teens and twenties are a gift
You gain the wisdom, but that body
Oh it?s time to tuck and lift
When you?re a forty-something female
You try to hide it so they can?t tell
A forty-something female... that?s me
