Age - Lianne La Havas

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

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

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

Is it such a problem if he’s old?

As long as he does whatever he is told

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

And left my dignity alone

When in Rome we landed our first kiss, I

Slurred my words but he pretended not to notice

And then he set 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

And we’ve come so far

So who gives a damn about the ages we are?

Is it such a problem if he’s old?

As long as he does whatever he is told

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

And left my dignity alone

Is it such a problem if he’s old?

As long as he does whatever he is told

I know I’m gonna survive the December cold

With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul
