Lyrics
I?M AN OLD WOMAN
I?m an old woman, but I?ve got experience
I?m an old woman, but I?ve got experience
And there ain?t no way I?d ever be a young woman again
I?m an old woman, but I know just what I want
I?m an old woman, but I know just what I want
?Cause I?ve had a lot of years to figure out just what I don?t
No more a slave to fashion & the latest cockeyed trend
No more starvation diets to get rid of my rear end
No more bowing to the altar of the stylish and the chic
I?m out of the in crowd and freedom tastes sweet
I?m an old woman, but I?ve got experience
I?m an old woman, but I?ve got experience
And there ain?t no way I?d ever be a young woman again
I?m an old woman, don?t care what people say
I?m an old woman, don?t care what people say
You can take me as I am or go on about your way
No more the desparate victim of adolescent angst
No more the tragic heroine of broken heart romance
No more suicidal rebounds from fire to frying pan
If I can?t live with him, I can live without a man
I?m an old woman, but I?ve got experience
I?m an old woman, but I?ve got experience
And there ain?t no way I?d ever be a young woman again
Thank God I?m older now I know better
I?ve got my own life, I ain?t nobody?s debtor
And there ain?t no way I?d ever be a young woman again
