Divorcee By 23
Clare Bowditch & the Feeding Set

Well, it seems you've got a baby girl

To a man who will not love you well

And you're walkin' down Brunswick street

And you're buyin' the baby's tears with treats

'Cause you look perfect, you look fine

And you hold it together most of the time

But when the baby's cryin'

And you know he's lying

He was the best lookin' boy you'd known

So you married him and made him home

Dropped out of university

All because he said well, honey you're pretty

Yes, you are pretty but you are not fine

'Cause you've forgotten your poor little mind

And if you don't start crying

You may never shine

Step on out of line

Outside the square, I dare you

To just not give a damn

'Cause people won't understand

Don't let them scare you

You play boy games and he plays girl games

And every Saturday, you swap over again

And you wonder why he Just don't hear

Are you saying it loud, are you making it clear

Or are you hiding away

Behind all those perfect things that you say?

You know that you don't wanna be

You don't wanna be

You don't wanna be

You don't wanna be no divorcee by 23

Well, is that your best reason to stay?

You're worried about what your brothers friends

Mothers might one day say

Step on out of line

Outside the square, I dare you

To just not give a damn

'Cause people won't understand

Don't let them scare you

You really should step on out of line

Outside the square, I dare you

To go confront your man

Help him understand these subtleties about you

You don't wanna be

You don't wanna be

You don't wanna be

You don't wanna be no divorcee by 23

Well, is that your best reason to stay?

Think about what your baby girl might one day say
