Eighteen years old and going nowhere fast
Because she can't seem to leave it in the past
She plays life's waiting game
sitting around getting dull and lame
She feels like life has already gone by
And doesn't know if she should even try
Waiting for her 15 minutes of fame
But its already past, What a shame
Chorus 2X
She plays life's waiting game
What path will she take
Dont make a mistake
When you play lifes waiting game
She wonders why it's hard for them to care
Why a genuine smile on her face is rare
She looks for men to fill this void
But her heart only gets destroyed
She feels needed when knuckles hit her face
Instead of a worthless stained disgrace
We plead with God we did not see
And comment on her wasted youth and beauty
Inside she is dull and gray
Less useful than an ashtray
Chorus
Yeah, We all play life's waiting game
Without knowing what path to take
We all make mistakes
Playing life's waiting game
We play life's waiting game
With no one but ourselves to blame
