I'd Rather Be an Old Man's Sweetheart (Than a Young Man's Fool)

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 got just enough to keep me warm

I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart

Than to be a young man's fool

(I'd rather be with an old man than to break a young man's heart)

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

Old man would be so grateful

If you could just 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

(I'd rather be with an old man than to break a young man's heart)

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

If 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

(I'd rather be with an old man than to break a young man's heart)

(I'd rather be with an old man than to break a young man's heart)

Yeah, don't wanna be no fool

Ain't gonna be your fool

Well, I'd rather put up with this old man

Again, he buys me presents

He treats me good, ah-hm
