I'm Old Fashioned
Embracing Timeless Love: I'm Old Fashioned by Susannah McCorkle
Lyrics
I am not such a clever one
I don't consider myself very clever
About the latest fads
I'm not knowledgeable about the latest trends
I admit I was never one
I confess I never attracted local boys
Adored by local lads
Local boys didn't adore me
Not that I ever try to be a saint
I don't pretend to be a saint
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
I'm seen as old-fashioned or charmingly out-of-date
I'm old fashioned
I embrace being old-fashioned
I love the moonlight
I appreciate moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
I love traditional things
The sound of rain
The soothing sound of rain on a window pane
Upon a window pane
The beautiful melody that April sings
The starry song that April sings
This year's trends are fleeting
This year's fancies
Temporary desires
Are passing fancies
Come and go quickly
But sighing sighs holding hands
But genuine emotions like sighs and holding hands
These my heart understands
My heart comprehends and values
I know I'm old fashioned
I acknowledge I'm old-fashioned
But I don't mind it
I don't find it bothersome
That's how I want to be
That's the way I choose to be
As long as you agree
As long as you share the same preference
To stay old fashioned with me
Wishing for you to stay old-fashioned with me
I'm old fashioned
Reiteration of being old-fashioned
But I don't mind it
Reiteration of not minding being old-fashioned
That's how I want to be
Reiteration of choosing to be old-fashioned
As long as you agree
Reiteration of desiring agreement on staying old-fashioned
To stay old fashioned with me
Reiteration of the request to stay old-fashioned together
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Expressing the desire for continued traditionalism
Oh please stay old fashioned with me
An additional plea to remain old-fashioned together
