I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Love: I'm Old Fashioned by Cassandra Wilson
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one
I acknowledge that I'm not particularly clever or knowledgeable.
About the latest fads
I'm not well-versed in the latest trends or fashions.
I admit I was never one
I confess that I've never been someone admired by local young men.
Adored by local lads
I haven't actively sought attention or approval from the local guys.
Not that I ever try to be a saint
Although I don't strive to be a saint, I'm not morally perfect.
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
People categorize me as old-fashioned or charmingly outdated.
I'm old fashioned
I embrace being old-fashioned as part of my identity.
I love the moonlight
I have a fondness for the romantic atmosphere created by moonlight.
I love the old fashioned things
I appreciate traditional and classic things.
The sound of rain
I find joy in the soothing sound of rain hitting a window pane.
Upon a window pane
I'm captivated by the poetic melody that April sings with the stars.
The starry song that April sings
I understand the enduring beauty of timeless sentiments.
This year's fancies
Contemporary trends and desires are temporary and fleeting.
Are passing fancies
Current infatuations are passing and short-lived.
But sighing sighs holding hands
However, expressions of deep emotions and connection endure.
These my heart understands
I comprehend and appreciate sincere expressions of love.
I know I'm old fashioned
I acknowledge that I'm old-fashioned, and I'm comfortable with it.
But I don't mind it
I don't find fault in being traditional; it aligns with my preferences.
That's how I want to be
This is the way I choose to be, and I'm content with it.
As long as you agree
As long as you share the same sentiment, I'm happy.
To stay old fashioned with me
Let's stay true to our old-fashioned values together.
I'm old fashioned
Reiteration of embracing an old-fashioned mindset.
But I don't mind it
Emphasizing the comfort and satisfaction in being traditional.
That's how I want to be
Expressing contentment with an old-fashioned lifestyle.
As long as you agree
As long as you share the same traditional values, I'm content.
To stay old fashioned with me
Reiteration of the desire for shared old-fashioned values.
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
An invitation for the other person to continue embracing tradition.
Oh please stay old fashioned with me
An earnest request for the partner to stay committed to traditional values.
