Chill Factor

Shes getting older
Yeah, shes getting wise
But a change has changed the girl
Gone is the sparkle from her eyesShe wants to be a good mother
So shell do the best she can
But what about the other
What about the manWell its cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
Its chill factor
To the boneResignation in her sighs
Is a sorry indication
Of how time
Can brutalizeTake away the hope
And the way I will follow
Take away the faith
Goodbye tomorrowIts cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
Its chill factor
To the boneShe had her dreams too
But how can she pursue
Her ambitions
Be they great or smallYou took her wings and flew
But remember when youre through
Your rise was due
To somebody elses fallWhen the hard parts over
And the kids are almost grown
Youll be their big hero
Whenever you make it homeShower them with presents
Things she could never buy
Delight them with your stories
About the great big, great big world outside
But digIts cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
Its chill factor
Chill factor, chill factor
To the bone
