I'd Rather Be an Old Man's Sweetheart

You may think I'm silly to love a man twice my age

But I know from experience, girls, sometimes 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 him warm

I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart

Than to be a young man's fool

Yeah, yeah

Good lovin' once a month is all an old man desires

You can love a young man seven days a week

And still he ain't satisfied

An old man would be so grateful

You could just sit and talk

While a young man is somewhere

Doin' the camel walk

I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart

Than to be a young man's fool

Don't wanna be no fool

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 do me wrong

An old man would be so thankful

You could just sit and talk

While a young man's somewhere busy

Doin' the camel walk

I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart

Than to be a young man's fool

Hey, hey

Now you may think I'm silly to love a man twice my age

But I know from experience, girls, sometimes 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 him warm

I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart

Than to be a young man's fool

Ooh, fool

Don't wanna be no fool

I'd rather put up with my old man

Than to be a fool

I don't need no young man

To be no fool

I just want my old man

I don't wanna be no fool

Won't be no fool, boy

Won't be no fool
