THEME- Oh, girl, you made it on your own.
You braved the bad weather
All those long, hard, dark, bad storms
And you started to just live a little
and experience the pleasures of life
And best of all is this----
that Love's still all around, still plenty more of it,
and you're gonna make it once more.
A new lease on life you did get
A hubby to love and care
and girl you know thats all you did need.
Back to WJM you go...
Oh, go on and make it just once more...
Go at it, one more for the road!
You're gonna hit it out the park
when you do complete it after all.
The gap in life shall be filled
and you shall be forever happy and live happily ever after,
cause Love is all around, no need to waste it,

Cause you did make it after all!
