Well she got up every morning and she waited in the cold
Got on the stinking yellow school bus and did what she was told
And she stared out the window, all the way down to high school
She went to home economics just like all the other girls
Making chicken a la king and peanut butter swirls
But she knew in her heart there had to be something better somewhere
Well the boys in the school, they were just a bunch of fools
And they acted like a bunch of bad bumpkins
But she went out with this guy 'cause she knew a girl's gotta do something
He showed her pictures of his car (pictures of his car!),
Pictures of his room (pictures of his room!)
Ohhhh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom

She wasn't meant to stick around here, and be some quarterback's wife
She wasn't meant to stick around here, be barefoot and pregnant the rest
Of her life

Well she got up every morning and she waited in the cold
Got on the stinking yellow cab, put the money through the hole
And she stared out the window, all the way down fifth avenue
She went on all the cattle calls just like all the other girls
And she waited by the phone in her rollers and her curls
But she knew in her heart there had to be something better
Well she ran into this guy who was down at 54
Had a lot of gold and chains and he got her in the door,
And he knew so many people, and he made her lots of pretty promises
He showed her pictures of his car (pictures of his car!),
Pictures of his room (pictures of his room!)
Ohhhh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom
He showed her pictures of his car (pictures of his car!),
Pictures of his room (pictures of his room!)
Ohhhh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom
Ohhhh, she's on the zoom, she's on the zoom
