Chill Factor Lyrics - The Isle Of View - Pretenders

She's getting older 

Yeah, she's getting wise 

But a change has changed the girl 

Gone's the sparkle from her eyes 

She wants to be a good mother 

So she'll do the best she can 

But what about the other 

What about the man 

Well it's cold to leave a woman 

With family on her own 

It's chill factor 

To the bone 

Resignation 

In her sighs 

Is a sorry indication 

Of how time 

Can brutalize 

Take away the hope 

And the will will follow 

Take away the faith 

And goodbye tomorrow 

Well it's cold to leave a woman 

With family on her own 

It's chill factor 

To the bone 

She had her dreams too 

But how can she pursue 

Her ambitions, be they great or small 

You took her wings and flew 

But remember when you're through 

Your rise was due 

To somebody else's fall 

When the hard part's over 

And the kids are almost grown 

You'll be their big hero 

Whenever you make it home 

Shower them with presents 

Things she could never buy 

Delight them with your stories 

About the great big, great big world outside 

But dig 

It's cold to leave a woman 

With family on her own 

It's chill factor 

Chill factor 

To the bone
