Lyrics
I made a cake and I wrote a play,
I cleaned the sink and I made a grenade
I?m on the dirty side of 30 but I?m ok
I fixed the car and I washed my hair,
Built a retaining wall cos I had some bricks to spare
Painted the ceiling, painted my nails
But you ain?t no use without a man,
Might as well stop, get used to the fact
You ain?t much chop babe, if you ain?t got a man
I got a car and a place to live,
Me and the bank we fixed the whole damn thing
"But you?re the dirty side of 30 dear, whattaya got to show for it?"
You ain't no use without a man,
Might as well stop, get used to the fact
You ain?t getting any younger,
Whattaya do when your looks fade?
You ain?t no use without a man,
Been so long drummed into my head
Somedays I fight it, others I can?t
I sow, I reap, I build, I dream,
I can be real quiet but if I want I scream
I can be everything and nothing,
Whattaya want from me?
You ain?t no use without a man,
Might as well stop, get used to the fact
You?re the dirty side of 30,
And that ain?t young babe
You ain?t no use without a man,
Might as well stop, get used to the fact
You ain?t much chop babe
Now where?s that grenade?
Where?s that grenade I made?
