Lily Allen - 22 Lyrics
When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
She's got an alright job but it's not a career
Wherever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
'Cause all she wants is a boyfriend
She gets one-night stands
She's thinking how did I get here
It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

I am barely 21 turning 22 in August
*guys I'm scared now
❤❤❤❤❤
"She's got an alright job but it's not a career
, whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears. Cause all she wants is a boyfriend, she gets one night stands. She's thinking how did I get here, I'm doing all that I can"
I'll be 26 this year and that part always hit me so, so hard. That almost bring me to tears, indeed...
just turned 23 not too long ago and let me tell you.. lily’s right
Today's my 22nd birthday. 22/02/2020. Listening to this after 22 by Taylor Swift
Oh, good girls 😃
I'm 22 today, yes 😮♥
I'm 24. This was definitely me at 22, but life does get better. Leave yourself open to new opportunities and learn to love who you are.
First heard this at 17 when 22 seemed an ETERNITY away. Now I'm 27 and, OOF.
What happened to lilly she used ton cool and a rebel ? Now she is a lefty normy :(
i rmb when i used to listen to her whole album like every time when i was 9 yo
Essa musica é minha religião
Where are all my Liverpool fans at
essa musica e tao linda e triste , principalmente nessa parte "Ela tem um bom emprego, mas não é uma carreira
Sempre que ela pensa nisso, a leva as lágrimas
Tudo que ela quer é um namorado
Mas consegue uma noite só"
greetings great song
Quase com 25, quando tiver com 30 volto haha
Huh. So I'm 22 now.
👍✌️💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She’s not talking about a girl that’s 22, she’s talking about a girl that’s “almost 30”
So many confused comments...come back when Taylor Swifts writes a song about being almost 30
Eu aos 24 anos sem carreira, formada sem emprego, sem namorado e a sociedade evangélica me pressionando para um casamento pois a "idade" tá passando foda -se a sociedade, case se quiser, na hora que quiser, e faça o curso que quiser fazer, seja o que quiser sò não enche o saco.kkk
Se eu fosse mulher já teria casado com um trouxa para me sustentar enquanto estudo kk
poussey ?????
I'm 22 and I feel like my life is already over
This applies to men aswell. So we are all equally losers, what makes us no losers at all!
she worded it so damn well!!
22 love Lilly
32 Lilly is a lefty liberal cuck
não acredito que essa música já tem 10 anos
An ass hole looking for table.
There's a guy here,
Freaks on my bus. I had to go for food stamps.
Asian woman cuckoo
I've only got a month left of 22, wanna come to my 23rd birthday party Lily? lol
Janeiro de 2020 ♥️♥️♥️♥️
And today I have 30 juju
Just her opinion.
Man...seeing all these comments about people being disappointed about their lives, saying that time goes by so fast, and that growing old sucks makes me really nervous to get older. Why can’t people just appreciate that everyone lives different lives, and just because you might not have followed society’s “life-plan”, doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
im just hearing this for the first time in 2020
My lifestyle has never been anything like in the song, but I'm turning 30 in an hour, and it still hurts. :c Single, but I never really tried and still don't (got my heart broken once at 27, but the relationship was extremely toxic, and it's good I'm out of it; I might as well pretend it never existed). Back in college for a third time, and hopefully this one will stick and make me a lot of money. Still wonder what I'm going to do as I age, without a partner or a lot of friends... I feel like I never really had a wild, amazing young adulthood, but it also feels internally like I'll never really be stable enough to be an adult either. I just have a lot of trouble keeping up with basic life. Depression, but I've had it since I was a teen, so it's not because I'm aging. I think no matter what you do in life, you're always missing out on something. Life is made up of circumstances and choices--doors you enter, doors you pass by, and doors that were never open for you, so regrets will probably always exist in some form. It's probably best just to accept yourself and the good things you've experienced and make the most of what is in front of you.
Today is my birthday, now I have 22 years and that music is a fucking reality, Goddamn, that is sad AF, but since I was a child, I really love that music, now, understanding everything, is a plot twist xD but is Lily Allen, she speaks and sing the reality
AHEAD OF HER TIME !
Franchement, à l'époque ils avaient utilisé cette chanson pour une pub Kinder Bueno, non mais mdr quand même.
can someone please tell Lily i love her? due to restraining order i am not allowed within 50 feet.
I'm guy but I can relate to this song 😥
I turned 22 a few weeks ago and for some reason this song popped up in my mind
I'm 21
And I want to die now :)
❤❤❤❤
10 years later I’m 30 and really going through all of this.
Thank god I’m not a girl, I hope my sister won’t feel this way or suffer .
I am 22 and i Just hate my life.
Ouvia essa música com 10 anos, agora chegando aos 21 a bad bate forte :(
This hurts
The big 3-0.
Such a deep song.
Okay wait someone help me out here, so she says "when she was 22 the future looked bright, but she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night" so shes saying when she was 22 she had a good life and things looked bright, but saying that she's nearly 30 now.. surly she's not saying 22 is nearly 30 so this song is about her being in her late 20s? Not 22? And also is when she has messy hair is that her as the age in the late 20s nearly 30 looking sad.. and then the ones with her looking happy and straight hair is of her when she's 22 and life looks bright? Is that what all this is or means Or is that just the way I'm seeing it ?? Anyone else?
Altas delicias
We all been lead by something.
A song with a message that feminists are frantically trying to convince themselves is not true
this song came out when I was 15. now I'm 25 and the meaning of it's gotten so much deeper, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing 😅😂
I listened to this when I was 22
Dancing Queen by Abba when I was 17
18 and Life by Skid Row when I was 18.
Damn I'm getting old :/
Alguém 😘🇧🇷
Producer : How much depressions and reality feels you want in this song?
Lily : *Yes.*
2019 anyone ?????????
first time i heard this, i was very young, thinking about being 22 and listening to this
here i am haha
Same women's issue, different classic angle ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooz70noYG5A
Honsetly one of my top favorite songs of all time
Anyone else raiding their old mp3 songs?
Wonderful she is the girl
When I first listened to this song, I was nearly 30. Now I’m 22.
Robert Moore Lmao
Brief break from all the sadness tho, isn't her dress amazing?
One of my fave songs of yours. Second is Fuck You and Third is Hard Out Here.
Is it Samira Willy at 1:39 ?
Just hit 22 today 😁
The wall explained?
The Sabot is true, how so society says her life is already over 🎵🎵🎵
Sam
Dawson
im in love with that British accent
i’ve listened to this song since i was 5 and i still know all the words
I'm 38 and a lot more confident and happier than I was at 22. I don't have botox cause it's poison ,or anything. I think it's about evolving if your still living life hedonistic like a 22 year-old thinking all there is to life is men and getting married that's the problem. Don't let the fickleness of society tell you who you should be and what life you should be living past 22,30 or 80. I took up lots of interests and go to gigs to dance rather than clubs I'm perfectly healthy and happy. Stop looking at social media and other people and comparing just do you and move forward. Not to be preachy but you can be happy even without a boyfriend! Get something that's electric and buzzes 😊
I'm 30 I'm single I like going out clubbing not every night though . I don't see that as my life being over . When I was in a relationship it was over more like . I'm single and free . Brill
What a lovely looking girl. Just love the way she looks. Great personality, as well.
I'm 26 this year...
in 4 years I'm 30 and most of my friends already married and have child...
here I am still failed find partner of life...
and?... you need someone to make you happy? if thats the case, its sad =/
Ginnygirl04 or maybe it’s because people have been alone for a long time and would just like to have someone special to share all these great experiences with and have someone to love and be loved by. What’s sad is someone who is so judgmental to a total stranger.
@mana_〈3 Who said I was juding??? The simple fact that u cant be happy with you and u have the need to be with someone is awfull on my point of view! everyone as there pace to achieve something in their lifes! YOU ARE THE ONE JUDGING ME!
our lifes re already over, society says
:
“Society” is not a person so society has no ideas and says nothing. It’s all in your head. When you think society is saying something to you, you are really only imagining certain ideas of some people as being held by everyone. As long as you continue to believe that nonsense then you are the author of your own problems. You want a boyfriend? Maybe actually learn to understand the boys you like so they will be inclined to like you back. Rather than, you know, just being a painted whore and wondering why no one cares.
She's not fit to lick Status Quo's boots
Chubby Chubs Christ, what’s Lilly got to do with a bunch of 80 yr old blokes?
I’m turning 23 this 8th of October,.
I can totally see myself coming back to this song in a few years :’)
If im 23 can i listen to this song and be sad

Liberalism. Yolo do what you want and waste your youth.
my 22nd birthday is in a month.... can't wait to blast this song and cry
24 here. Any advise?
Waiting for prince charming
The British are so funny in the way they speak sometimes. Some refuse to pronounce the "T" sound. Instead of "Thirty" she pronounced it Thir-iee . Lily Allen is great though.
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
