Catch 22

He ain't buying her the white brick house with flowers in the front He ain't going back to see the ring she said she's loved for months He calls her honey, but he spends his time and money at the bar The clock says 3:00 a.m. and she says, "Call me if you can" Her friends call him Peter and call Broadway Neverlands One day he'll settle down, she tells herself, "That's just how they are" Time moves on, for worse or better Forever young and young forever Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still Trying to catch 22 She pays for their apartment 'til he gets it figured out And tells herself that it's her earing that she found in the couch If she can't change him, no one can, but damn, that boy still ain't a man Oh, it's funny how Time moves on, for worse or better Forever young and young forever Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still Trying to catch 22 Trying to catch 22 He's crying in the bathroom while he's god knows where now He ain't a father figure, but she hopes he'll figure it out Time moves on, for worse or better Forever young and young forever Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still Trying to catch 22 Ooh-ooh Hm-mm
