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
