about

Desperation Bridget Jones style is not my idea of a good time... but it happens to the best of us! What to do? Take the piss out of the situation, have a good laugh and ​count yourself lucky you are not like the lady on this track!

lyrics

So you‘re forty single and looking for romance
It’s late at night you've had enough of all those bars with drunks
The leaves are falling on the ground
but you’re not ready yet to be homebound

So you hit the clubs where you think it’s easy to get laid
But after sex with one twenty year old
Your only satisfaction is in the kitchen bowl stuffing yourf face with cake

So you revert to Jim at work who flirts with your best friend
Come xmas he ll hook up with her and that will be its end
And then you ll feel emotional and leave the party early
Log on to online dating , chat with a thirty-something

Only to discover he s got a gaming habit
He s only free one hour a week and he thinks having kids is tragic
And the only other guys that message you are either dull or creepy
They send you picks of you know what that only make you weepy

And you think to yourself
Where have all the good guys gone ?
Have your chances all been blown ?


Come spring you think of getting thin but since you know that gyms are grim
You opt for tango lessons hoping mr Right will come
But all you find is that socially awkward
dude for whom life isn’t much fun

You ask him out but he just stands and stares like he s afraid
That you ll see he s as pure as they day he was born
He never touched a girl after his mum caught him red handed with the porn

Now summer’s here and all the new formed couples are about
You smile but inside you just cringe and really wanna shout
Fuck off this isn’t fair ! I deserve love just like you !
Do you know how long I've been without a screw ?

And then the psycho guy whose wife divorced him last July
He thinks he can have you easy , so he gives you the eye
But you still got some dignity you ll never stoop so low
You exist stage salute him with a bow

And you think to yourself
Where have all the good guys gone ?
I am so tired of being alone
Is my heart turning to stone
Where have all the good guys , where have they gone ?
