Chill Factor

It's chill factor
Delight them with your stories
Well it's cold to leave a woman with family
On her own
Take away the hope and the will, will follow
But how can she pursue
When the hard part's over

She wants to be a good mother
You took her wings and flew
On her own
But a change has changed the girl
It's cold to leave a woman with family
Take away the faith and goodbye tomorrow
To somebody else's fall
She had her dreams too
It's chill factor
And the kids have almost grown
Resignation in her sighs
On her own
You'll be their big hero
Be they great or small

So she'll do the best she can
Is a sorry indication of how time can brutalise her
To the bone
It's cold to leave a woman with family
Gone's the sparkle from her eyes
Whenever you make it home
About the great big, the great big world outside but dig
What about the man?

Things she could never buy
Chill factor
It's chill factor

To the bone

But what about the other?
Her ambitions
Shower them with presents
Your rise was due
But remember when you're through
