I'd Rather Be An Old Man - Candi Staton

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
