Stuck At 40
I have never been 40
it's coming soon
it's just around the corner
The big 4-0 looms
I have Never been 40
I haven't got a clue
Will my hair turn grey
How much will I lose?
I have never been 40
What do I do
I've heard all the stories
I don't want to face the truth
I'm turning 40
Goodbye to my youth
Can some one help me
I'm turning 40 and singing the blues
Will I lose my teeth and gum my food
Wear knee high socks?
Watch the news
I'm turning 40
My life is through
What is next
What have I got to look forward to
It's all downhill
Oh God damn
God damn
What to do
I'm turning 40
my life is through
