LYRICS: the crocuses are poking through this dormant fertile ground the sun shines bright as longer days keep coming on around
the pastor says hey honey looks like you’re running out the clock I said hey reverend trust me if I could I’d take some c0ck
but I’m 21 I’m basically an old hag at this point the tick tick tick of Father Time and the throbbing of Mother Earth
if I don’t find my perfect mate by the time I graduate I can’t live out God’s sole design of four kids by 28
so gimme that ring by spring gimme that Song of Solomon love I’ll be your proverbs 31 queen descend upon me like a dove
don’t care if it’s Bradley from small group or even Tim from the worship team just gimme a man that can lead and spill his seed for my Instagram feed
the storks are blotting out the sky but my tears are flooding more I need a Noah to sweep me off my feet as this rain pours
cause it’s two by two but one by one I’m worthless without a mate So father in your goodness help me stay pure as I wait
Cause I’m 21 I’m basically an old hag at this point The ark is built come send a man to set this boat afloat If I don’t find a perfect mate by the time I graduate I’m not sure I can keep up with pretending that I’m straight
so gimme that ring by spring gimme that Song of Solomon love I’ll be your proverbs 31 queen descend upon me like a dove
don’t care if it’s snatching up the youth pastor I’ll even discount my dowry just gimme a man that can lead and spill his seed for my Instagram feed
I’ll be your help meet
