She knew she had a calling,
She said to me, “Can you hear it calling?”
She said, “I’ve reached that certain age,
I haven’t yet disgraced my family name,
I’ve got to leave this job and rebel.”
I handed her the post and smiled.
I only knew her for a while.
She sailed away.

She knew she had a calling.
She always felt held back by temping.
She said, “Time means so much more than money.
The secret of success is concentrating on your aims.”
She sailed away.

She knew she had a calling.
She always felt held back by temping.
She said, “Time means so much more than money.
The secret of success is concentrating
On your dreams, stuff the job.”
She sailed away.

Look at me! Look at me!
