Lyrics I'd Rather Be An Old Man - Candi Staton

I'd Rather Be An Old Man

You may think I’m silly
To love a man twice my age
But I know from experience, girls
Sometime it pays
The man I’ve got
The fire’s almost gone
He can’t heat up nobody’s house
He’s got just enough to keep me warm
I’d rather be an old man’s sweetheart
Than to be a young man’s fool
Oh, yeah
To love you once a month
Is all an old man desires
You can love a young man
Seven days a week
And still he’s not satisfied
And old man would be so grateful
You could just sit and talk
But a young man is somewhere
Doing the camel walk
I’d rather be an old man’s sweetheart
Than to be a young man’s fool
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Most girls prefer a young man
'Cause a young man is strong
But I’d rather put up with this old man
Than have a young man doing me wrong
And old man would be so grateful
You could just let him sit and talk
But a young man is somewhere busy
Doing the camel walk
I’d rather be an old man’s sweetheart
Than to be a young man’s fool
Don’t wanna be your fool, no Don’t wanna be your fool
Ain’t gonna be your fool
Don’t wanna be no fool
Young man just ain’t gonna do that
No, no, don’t wanna be no fool
Ain’t gonna be no fool
Ain’t gonna be no fool, no, no, no Ain’t gonna be no fool, no
