Biological Clock Ticking

You know how some woman have a panic attacks
   Because they realize their days of having children are limited
  Well young girls of the teenage variety have that same kind of fear
            Yet it surrounds their virginity
              You see it starts to seem like your missing out
 Your friends are telling you what a joy it is 
                 Yet you've never experienced it 
                  It starts to get embarrassing 
                  Cause by a certain age lets say 20 
                   People expect you not to be 
                   And even though your waiting for the right guy
                       None of your other friends seem to be 
                         They seem to be in love
                             Falling all at the same time 
                               And your sitting here lonely
                                   Missing out
                            Not putting out
                          They don't understand how you feel
                           and they never will 
                       The clock is ticking 
                      It's time to grown up 
                            It's time to finally be what you're becoming 
                                 A woman 
                                You thought you were proud of still being 
                               But when their reaching for condoms 
                                and all you can do is smile
                                 It starts to make you feel like
                                          WOW
                                What does this all really mean?
                                    Sadness comes over you
                                   You have no idea what to do
                                   No candidates to help fix this issue
                                      Tick, Tick, Tick , Tick, Tick,
                                         No fairy god mothers to prepare you 
                                              Life begins now... 
                                            And all you know is that times running out
                                                You have to be parted or you'll lose all sense of self
                                                              I'm no longer a little girl
