I'd Rather Be An Old Man

You may think I'm silly
To love a man twice my age
But I know from experience, girl
Some time it pays
The little I've got
Fire is 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

Good lovin' once a month
Is all an old man desires
You can love a young man seven days a week
And still his love satisfy
An old man would be so grateful
If you could just sit and talk
While a young man is somewhere busy
Doin' the camel walk

I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart
Than to be a young man's 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 grateful
If you could just let him sit and talk
While a young man is somewhere busy
Doin' the camel walk

I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart
Than to be a young man's fool

No
Yeah
Don't wanna be no fool
Ooh
Ain't gon' be no fool
Well
I'd rather put up with this old man
Yeah
He buys me presents
He treats me good
