There's a lonely girl at the promenade

She's alone without anyone

When her daddy comes to visit her

He wants to lay out under the sun

But the sky is gray as usual

Another misty day

And the ocean's too cold to swim in

The ocean's too cold to swim in

And it's cold

And her daddy asks if she's making friends

And she says she's trying hard

Taking classes, going to parties

And meeting people at bars

And he thinks that it's unusual how she hasn't settled down

Why would anyone live here?

Why would anyone live here

When the ocean's that cold?

And she drives him back to LAX and kisses him goodbye

And he sits down with a magazine and a McDonald's apple pie

And he wants to think that she's alright

And all her dreams will come true

But the odds are just not good enough

No, the odds are just not good enough for her

Mmm
