Lyrics
I'm a single man, I lead a peaceful life
Get out of bed, whenever I like
Friends telll me that I need a wife
But if it aint broke, don't fix it
My old slippers got holes in the toes
Had 'em for Christmas, just a few years ago
But they fit just right, and I'd hate to see 'em go
So if it aint broke, don't fix it
If it aint broke, why try to change it?
Just dust it off, and rearrange it
If it aint broke, you don't need a new one
Why change a red one, just to own a blue one?
My old guitar, has seen better days
Built in '73, in the US of A
But if feels just right, and I love the way it plays
If it aint broke, don't fix it
If it aint broke, but it's just gone out of fashion
Get yourself a new one, and the same thing's gonna happen
If it aint broke, but it's just running slow
Give it a kick, and watch it go
Had my old car about twentyfive years
Got worn out seats, got worn out gears
But it gets me there, well, it got me here!
If it aint broke, don't fix it
This old singer's running out of time
Drinks too much whisky, drinks too much wine
But he still has a heart, that loves just fine
So if it aint broke, don't fix it
