Rolling down the ancient high street you find
In the mirror reflects a woman in her prime
And you made your way out
In a world dearly won
Well it's yours, love
You can move it around
Given all the drops in the ocean
Better take it one sip at a time
Somebody with an antique notion
Come along to tighten the line
They're just afraid of you speaking your mind
Your mind

They've got a name for you girls
What's in a name? (What's in a name?)
What's in a name?
They've got a name for everything
All of them clothes that you wear
And all of your bits and pieces, yeah oh

Flipping through the check-stand rags it appears
There ain't no time to waste, you're getting on in years
You can keep your can up
If you just never eat again
It's a means to a terrible end
Even if your plan is successful
Have you really got room in your life?
And it's a bland kind of torture
You've played the mother and wife
But what do you really dream of at night?
 
They got a name for you girls
What's in a name? (What's in a name, what's in a name?)
They got a name for you girls
Some stupid name, yeah
They got a name for you girls
What's in a name, name?
What's in a name?
What's in a name?
What's in a name, name?
(What's in a) what's in a name, name?
What's in a name, name, name, name?
What's in a name? (What's in a name?)
What's in a name, name?
