Lianne La Havas - Age

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
Oooh

So is it such a problem that he's old?
As long as he does whatever he's 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 sat down to play
My heart sang a symphony
So far, so swimmingly
And then I got up to find my fish in that sea
We've come so far
So who gives a damn about the ages we are
Oooh

So is it such a problem that he's old?
As long as he does whatever he's told
I'm glad that it's just my heart that he stole
And left my dignity alone

So is it such a problem that he's old?
As long as he does whatever he's told
I know I'm gonna survive the December cold

With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul
With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul.

"Age" was released as the sixth single from the album, Is Your Love Big Enough? on December 3rd, 2012. Speaking at the Mercury Prize ceremony where she was nominated for Is Your Love Big Enough?, La Havas explained that this wink at small-hours Jazz is "a ditty about an older man."
