lyrics

Mandy be Free


Mandy sugar- candy was a good looking girl,
Lipstick and tight shoes, mini skirt and pearls.
She met a guy, a man’s man, in a bar one day.

He wooed her and he cooed her
Till she’d almost forgotten
The stories mama told about men that were rotten,
But despite that she let him pursue her to keep up with the game.

They married far too soon and built their home in a hurry,
They bought a house and filled it up with children and worry,
Then everything became routine, a lot more of the same.

Ooh yeah a lot more of the same.
…

Soon the lipstick girl was all curlers and tights,
She wore the bags under her eyes on sleepless nights.
She spent her whole life living through others
Though it made no sense.

Oh Mandy don’t be a fool,
You know you’re somebody cool,
Oh Mandy, you’re gonna be free today

Mandy put the bottle down,
You’re not likeable when you’re drinking.
Are you sleeping or waking?

Next thing she noticed that middle age spread,
She filled her head with everything he’d said.
Oh the bruises, se never saw them in magazines.

She said ‘I’m fine’ but she lied you know.
She wanted to go out now the kids had grown,
But there was too much going on inside her.

Oh Mandy don’t be a fool,
You know you’re somebody cool,
Oh Mandy, try to be free today
Oh Mandy, try to be free today

Oh Mandy listen to me,\there’s somewhere
That you should be.
Oh Mandy, try to be free today
