Candi Staton - I'd Rather Be An Old Man's Sweetheart (Than A Young Man's Fool) Lyrics

You may think I'm silly to love a man twice my age But I know from experience, girls, sometime with pain The man I've got, the fire is almost gone He can't heat up nobody's eyes 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, oh yeah

To love you once a month is all an old man desires You can love a young man 7 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 - tell him, let me be 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 - tell him You could just let him sit and talk - tell him, let me be 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
