Lisa Gatewood: Lyrics

Old For My Age

(Lisa Gatewood)
Ain’t seen the sunshine in 32 days
and my man he tells me it’s just a phase
and he wraps himself around me in every which way
and he likes me because I act old for my age

And I fall into his arms like water
I fall into his arms like water

3 in the morning and I can’t sleep
got everyone’s secrets I have to keep
so there’s no room for me in this bed you see
but I act old for my age so he likes me

and I fall into his arms like water
I fall into his arms like water

He assures me I’m lovely from certain angles
He assures me I’m lovely from certain angles
and with just the right light I could be so pretty
and on just the right night I could leave this city
And go
And go

Tonight all those pretty pink flags are red
and everything is like he never said
so I turn down the sheets and crawl next to him in bed
and he says “Baby, what’s going on in your head?”

And I fall into his arms like water
I fall into his arms like water
