All Would Envy
Old enough to be her dad
But the young men were just mad
they nursed their grievances
And she was flattered by his charm
It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances
He sent her flowers and limousines
She was treated like a queen
Anything she ever wanted
It was no problem for a man like him
And everyone expected soon
That she could ask him for the moon
If she would wear his ring
Knowing glances from his friends
In the homes at the weekends of high society
But he didn't give a damn
He never felt more like a man
And all the time the clock was ticking
And all would envy
the older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes, all would envy
In a house upon a hill
She was there with time to kill
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
The life was never what it seemed
To all her friends that she'd ignored
She denied she was bored
She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing
But the clock upon the wall
That was ticking in the hall
Always reminded her
That life was going on as well
But she was happy and she would swear
she wouldn't change a thing
And all would envy
the older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes, all would envy
Now it's 5 o'clock am
She must have spent the night again
with that old friend of hers
She loves to dance
She's missing more and more these days
But he's still stuck in his old ways
Perhaps she needs a little more romance
But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall
She must be home soon… soon
Where a younger man would weep
He takes a pill and goes to sleep
Now who would envy
the older man and his beautiful young wife
Who would envy?
Who would envy?
Todos Teriam Inveja
Velho o suficiente pra ser pai dela
Mas os jovens estavam só putos
Eles alimentavam suas mágoas
E ela se sentia lisonjeada com seu charme
Não faria mal a ela, todos tiveram suas chances
Ele mandou flores e limusines
Ela era tratada como uma rainha
Qualquer coisa que ela quisesse
Não era problema pra um cara como ele
E todo mundo esperava logo
Que ela pudesse pedir a lua
Se ela usasse seu anel
Olhares significativos dos amigos dele
Nas casas nos finais de semana da alta sociedade
Mas ele não estava nem aí
Nunca se sentiu tão homem
E o tempo todo o relógio estava correndo
E todos teriam inveja
Do homem mais velho e sua linda jovem esposa
Sim, todos teriam inveja
Numa casa no alto da colina
Ela estava lá com tempo de sobra
Vivia uma vida que só sonhou
A vida nunca foi o que parecia
Para todos os amigos que ela ignorou
Ela negou que estava entediada
Não tinha tempo pra dançar, não tinha tempo pra dançar
Mas o relógio na parede
Que estava correndo no corredor
Sempre a lembrava
Que a vida continuava também
Mas ela estava feliz e jurava
Que não mudaria nada
E todos teriam inveja
Do homem mais velho e sua linda jovem esposa
Sim, todos teriam inveja
Agora são 5 da manhã
Ela deve ter passado a noite de novo
Com aquele velho amigo dela
Ela adora dançar
Ela está sentindo falta disso cada vez mais
Mas ele ainda está preso em seus velhos hábitos
Talvez ela precise de um pouco mais de romance
Mas o relógio na parede ainda está correndo no corredor
Ela deve voltar logo… logo
Onde um homem mais jovem choraria
Ele toma um comprimido e vai dormir
Agora quem teria inveja
Do homem mais velho e sua linda jovem esposa
Quem teria inveja?
Quem teria inveja?
