karen
never had to take the time she had all she needed
never had to take a chance it was planned in advance
never had to pay price she always had mommy's card
never missed a chance to tell you how it's so hard
it means nothing to me, it doesn't matter to me

each horizon the price is rising she's used up all her friends
back at home the walls of her room are closing in
pawned the silver spoon in her mouth and bought a ticket to the real world
her pride won't let her back out now, she want to be a big girl
it means nothing to me, it doesn't matter to me

karen's just making up for lost time

karen doesn't wanna go, karen won't leave
karen doesn't wanna be, left out of anything
they tried to tell her it was getting kinda late
but you just cant tell karen anything

she's got a new way of dressing to make a big impression, she's the belle of the ball
there's nothing in the world that passes her by she's on top of it all
gee ain't this a blast, i wish they could see me back home
but no one even knew that she was gone
it means nothing to me, it doesn't matter to me

karen's just making up for lost time

karen doesn't wanna go, karen won't leave
karen doesn't wanna be, left out of anything
they tried to tell her it was getting kinda late
but you just cant tell karen anything
