She didn't have much time to break down She didn't have much love to share Single and raising a baby Without a dollar to spare She knows that her phone is ringing She knows what he's going to say He's gonna tell her to call him Just like he did yesterday CHORUS: She's holding her freedom like a cage She says they'll never take that away Long as I'm breathing, my heart will be Unbroken, unshackled and free Her friends say she's gotta start living She says “living won't keep us alive And my day is only half over When I clock out at five” Finally she tells him she'll meet him If they don't have to call it a date She almost forgets as they're laughing Her past and the promise she made REPEAT CHORUS: BRIDGE: Time goes by, she gives him a try But it's just too soon and there's just not room In her life, so she says goodbye REPEAT CHORUS:
