GNow that she's older

 As the Dembers of romance fade to Emmortgages and leccy bills

 Been Dcomfortable and that

 Nobody Gtold her that she'd Dever reach the stage

 Where her Emhusband bores or her or she Dlies about her age

 He's comproGmising

 At least he's Dgot a job for life

 Get Emborn, get school, get job, get car

 Pay Dtax and find a wife

 And on Gthat note the eDnd can't come too soon

 If Emyou're not living on the edge you Dtake up too much room

 I could've Cbeen a contender

 I Emcould've been a someone

CCaught up in the rat race

 And Gfeeling like a no one

CCould've been me in the papers

 With the Emmoney and the girls

 I could've Cbeen the heavyweight Achampion of the world

 At Gschool he used to dream about Dbeing Bruce Lee

 But the Emneed for chops in the Manor Top

 Ain't Dall that great you see

 And so he Ggave up

 On his Dblack belt and first Dan

 As Emnear as he got to China

 Was a Dweek in Camber sands

 I could've Cbeen a contender

 I Emcould've been a someone

CCaught up in the rat race

 And Gfeeling like a no one

CCould've been me in the papers

 With the Emmoney and the girls

 I could've Cbeen the heavyweight Achampion of the world

 I could've Cbeen a contender

 I Emcould've been a someone

CCaught up in the rat race

 And Gfeeling like a no one

 As the F7Msame old routine repeated Emweek after week
