lyrics

Saw a babe on Broadway
styling all the rage
she was minding her business
I was feeling my age
I'm old enough to know better
older than I've ever been
I thought I was over my midlife crisis
But here it comes again

I don't watch leno
don't dig his show
I drive a car like my daddy had
half a lifetime ago
I used to hate what he stood for
but now I look just like him
I thought I was over my midlife crisis
But here it comes again

I got no compunctions
at my ambiguity
all my good old buddies turned out
twice as ugly as me

There's a part that's still 18
somewhere inside of me
but all of the rest of my body
is outta warranty
and when I look in the mirror
all I can see is my skin
I thought I was over my midlife crisis
but here it comes again
