She's gettin' now older Yeah, she's gettin' wiser But a change has changed the girl Gone's the sparkle from her eyes
She wants to be a good mother So she'll do the best she can But what about the other? What about the man?
Well it's cold to leave a woman with family On her own It's chill factor To the bone
Resignation in her sighs Is a sorry indication of how time can brutalise her Take away the hope and the will, will follow Take away the faith and goodbye tomorrow
It's cold to leave a woman with family On her own It's chill factor To the bone
She had her dreams too But how can she pursue Her ambitions Be they great or small
You took her wings and flew But remember when you're through Your rise was due To somebody else's fall
When the hard part's over And the kids have almost grown You'll be their big hero Whenever you make it home
Shower them with presents Things she could never buy Delight them with your stories About the great big, the great big world outside but dig
It's cold to leave a woman with family On her own It's chill factor Chill factor Chill factor to the bone
