Lyrics

MIRROR GAZING YESTERDAY
MORE WRINKLES ON MY FACE
HAIR LOOKIN' KINDA THIN
DOUBLING BENEATH MY CHIN

I COULD LIE ABOUT THE YEARS
AND STRETCH MY SKIN 'TIL IT'S CLEAR
TURN THE LIGHTS WAY DOWN LOW
IN HOPE NO ONE ELSE WILL KNOW

BUT MY ELEPHANT''S OUT THE DOOR
AND I CAN'T HIDE HIM ANYMORE

AGE -- GONNA HAPPEN
AGE -- TIME'S A PASSIN'
AGE -- ONE THING'S CERTAIN
EVERYBODY'S GONNA AGE

NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE
FINDING LOVE OR GETTING IT RIGHT
BUT WITH LUCK, YOU'LL GET OLD
TO GRUMP 'N WHINE ABOUT THE COLD

SLOWLY AGE CREEPS UP ON YOU
AND THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO
FACELIFTS AND EXERCISE
DON'T FOOL OL' FATHER TIME

SO SMILE, IF YOU'RE YOUNG
BUT EVENTUALLY YOUR DAY WILL COME

AGE -- NO DENYIN'
AGE -- NO USE TRYIN'
AGE -- WHY THE CRYIN'
COULD BE WORSE, YA COULD BE DYIN'
AGE -- GONNA HAPPEN
AGE -- TIME'S A PASSIN'
AGE -- ONE THING'S CERTAIN
EVERYBODY'S GONNA AGE

WE AGE -- EACH TIME WE TAKE A BREATH
WE AGE -- EVEN WHILE WE'RE HAVIN' SEX
WE AGE -- MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT
WE AGE -- GODDAMN IT -- ALL OF THE TIME

SCREW WISDOM 'N ALL THAT CRAP
I'M TURNING MY CLOCKS BACK
CHANGING ALL THIS WORK TO PLAY
SMILING AT EACH PASSING DAY

WON'T LET IT GET ME DOWN
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER IN LIFE'S COUNTDOWN

AGE -- YOU CAN'T BEAT IT
AGE -- OR DEFEAT IT
AGE -- DRUGS CAN'T TREAT IT
THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU CAN CHEAT IT
AGE -- GONNA HAPPEN
AGE -- TIME'S A PASSIN'
AGE -- ONE THING'S CERTAIN
'TIL WE TAKE OUR FINAL CURTAIN
EVERYBODY'S GONNA AGE
