Intro

Verse 1

Why do I love him? He don't love back

When I call his name, he turns his back

The weather is growing cold

 And I want him back again

Verse 2

I kinda know this other guy but he's rather

Old enough to be my father

So he's not the one for me

 Cause I fancy younger men

Bridge

 I'm at a loss

Not a coincidence he left me because

 My older man

Was ready to love me like the woman that I am

Oooh

Chorus

 So is it such a problem that he's old?

 As long as he does whatever he's told

 I'm glad that it's just my heart that he stole

 And left my dignity alone

Verse 3

When in Rome we landed our first kiss

I slurred my words but he pretended not to notice

And then he sat down to play

 My heart sang a symphony

 So far, so swimmingly

I'm glad I got out to find my fish in that sea

 We've come so far

So who gives a damn about the ages we are

Oooh

Chorus

 So is it such a problem that he's old?

 As long as he does whatever he's told

 I'm glad that it's just my heart that he stole

 And left my dignity alone

 So is it such a problem that he's old?

 As long as he does whatever he's told

 I know I'm gonna survive the December cold

 With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul

 With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul.
