Someday she'll be older and none of this will matter
No one's gonna wonder who she kissed in her heyday
Maybe she'll have children or maybe she'll have cats
Maybe she'll have driven all her lovers far away
But she'll still be here like sun on the water
And she'll wear her hair grey straight and strong
Yeah she'll still be here when you will be gone
And she'll have lived with herself all along
You cannot be happy, you cannot relax
You cannot take comfort in the freedom of the facts
This child who is your daughter, this woman who's so bold
This woman-child who's wild will never do as you have told
But she'll still be here like sun on the water
And she'll wear her hair grey straight and strong
Yeah she'll still be here when you will be gone
And she'll have lived with herself all along
I fall in love with the person
I fall in love with the person
I fall in love with the person
How many times have I gotta explain that
Someday she'll be older and none of this will matter
No one's gonna wonder who she kissed in her heyday
Maybe she'll have have children or maybe she'll have cats
Maybe she'll have cats
