Nine-teen, summer skin
Daydreamin', sweet grin
Prayin' for a good man to head my way
Twenty-two, said I do
Seemed to make a break through
But no one ever tells you about that day
Cause the fights came sooner than I thought they would
And you let me down harder than I knew you should
Slammed doors, out of luck
Makes ya throw your hands up
Look to the heavens and say
Here I am Lord, gimme a clue
How to ditch the happy ever after blues
They don't tell ya how to make it right
But you can guarantee that Imma put up a fight
Guess I'll go back to where it began
And love that boy like I'm twenty-two again
Twenty-two again
Head spinnin', heart achin'
Lord knows I could use a break and
Gettin' through is such a fight
Give me patience, give me strength
Get me through another day
Help me find the love inside
Cause the fights came sooner than I thought they would
And you let me down harder than I knew you should
Slammed doors, out of luck
Makes ya throw your hands up
Look to the heavens and say
Here I am Lord, gimme a clue
How to ditch the happy ever after blues
They don't tell ya how to make it right
But you can guarantee that Imma put up a fight
Guess I'll go back to where it began
And love that boy like I'm twenty-two again
Twenty-two again
(Oh twenty-two again)
Whoa, here I am Lord, gimme a clue
How to ditch the happy ever after blues
They don't tell ya how to make it right
But you can guarantee that Imma put up a fight
Guess I'll go back to where it began
And love that boy like I'm twenty-two again
Gimme a clue
Take me back to twenty-two
Oh, oh
