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
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
