Slim Pickings Songtext
von Izo FitzRoy

I was so naive
I was thinking that I′d have it and run
And that I'd relive my twenties
Find the old me after what I′d become

But my eyes were soon opened wide
At the sight staring back at me
Gues I'll hope and pray that soon one day
I'll find serenity

′Cause there ain′t nothing left for me (slim pickings)
Stuck at 33 (slim pickings)
There ain't no place I wanna be (slim pickings)
Guess I′ll have to wait and see
If there's somebody left for me

I told myself to keep tryin′
Things would be better, oh so soon
And I'd find me a real nice guy who′d fly me
Close to the moon


But reality struck
And I hoped my damn luck was about to change
But these men they mess around, and time again and they say
That you're the one that's strange

′Cause there ain′t nothing left for me (slim pickings)
Well I'm stuck at 33 (slim pickings)
Ain′t no place I wanna be (slim pickings)
Guess I'll have to wait and see

(Slim pickings, don′t want no slim pickings)
(Slim pickings, on my own, slim pickings)
(Slim pickings, don't want no slim pickings)

Now I′ve opened my eyes
And I realise I don't need another guy
That I'll stick to what makes me tick
With my own friends here by my side

And I′ll take my chance, I′ll risk the dance
Even if I'm alone
I′ll still be, same old me and walking happily
Along these old dusty roads

'Cause there ain′t nothing left for me (slim pickings)
Stuck at 33 (slim pickings)
Ain't no place I wanna be (slim pickings)
Guess I′ll have to wait and see


'Cause there ain't nothing left for me
Stuck at 33
There ain′t no place I wanna be
Guess I′ll have to wait and see
If there's somebody left for me
