I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Love: I'm Old Fashioned by Ella Fitzgerald
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one
I don't consider myself very clever or up-to-date
About the latest fads
I don't keep up with the latest trends
I admit I was never one
I confess I have never been someone admired by local boys
Adored by local lads
Not popular or sought after by local guys
Not that I ever try to be a saint
I don't actively try to be a perfect or virtuous person
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I am seen as old-fashioned or charmingly out of date
I'm old fashioned
Expressing a preference for traditional values
I love the moonlight
I enjoy the romantic ambiance of moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
I appreciate things that are traditional or classic
The sound of rain
The soothing and rhythmic sound of raindrops on a window
Upon a window pane
Referring to the gentle melody of rain against a window
The starry song that April sings
The beautiful and timeless song that the month of April sings
This year's fancies
Current trends and fashions
Are passing fancies
Temporary or fleeting interests
But sighing sighs holding hands
Expressing affection through simple gestures like holding hands
These my heart understands
These simple expressions of love are deeply understood by my heart
I know I'm old fashioned
Acknowledging a preference for traditional values and customs
But I don't mind it
I am comfortable with being old-fashioned
That's how I want to be
Expressing a desire to remain true to traditional values
As long as you agree
As long as you also agree to embrace traditional values with me
To stay old fashioned with me
Requesting a commitment to uphold traditional values together
I'm old fashioned
Reiteration of being old-fashioned and comfortable with it
But I don't mind it
Reaffirming acceptance of being old-fashioned
That's how I want to be
Expressing a preference for a traditional way of life
As long as you agree
As long as you also agree to embrace traditional values with me
To stay old fashioned with me
Requesting a commitment to uphold traditional values together
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Inviting someone to stay true to traditional values with them
Oh please stay old fashioned with me
An earnest plea for the other person to remain old-fashioned
