Lyrics Age - Lianne La Havas

Age

Why do I love him?
He don’t love back
When I call his name
He turns his back
The weather is growing cold
And I want him back again
I kinda know this other guy
But he’s rather old enough to be my father
So he’s not the one for me
'Cause I fancy younger men
I’m at a loss
Not a coincidence he left me because
My older man
Was ready to love me like the woman that I am
Is it such a problem if he’s old?
As long as he does whatever he is told
I’m glad that it’s just my heart that he stole
And left my dignity alone
When in Rome we landed our first kiss, I
Slurred my words but he pretended not to notice
And then he set down to play
My heart sang a symphony
So far so swimmingly
I’m glad I got out to find my fish in that sea
And we’ve come so far
So who gives a damn about the ages we are?
Is it such a problem if he’s old?
As long as he does whatever he is told
I’m glad that it’s just my heart that he stole
And left my dignity alone
Is it such a problem if he’s old?
As long as he does whatever he is told
I know I’m gonna survive the December cold
With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul
With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul
