Twice My Age

I'm in love with a man, nearly twice my age
Don't know what it is, but its a hit from me youthful days
As I go my way, I don't care what people say
I'm in love with a man, nearly twice my age!

Come now! igle jube, jube - igle jube
She nuh waan no igle jube, jube... igle jube
She want a man wi nuff load of de royalty
De igle jube, yuh know say 'im nuh've money
She nuh waan no lover's honey, she waan di money
She nuh waan no lover's honey, she waan di money!

When I tell you girls, in my youthful days
I never loved another man my age, and then the don, he came along
He made me smile all the while, and he stood tall and strong, so strong, so strong...

Young man have strength but that is not sense
She want a man fi let have recumpense
True! She wah pay lightbill and rent, and
You know you haffi have a big dividend and
Dung di line you pocket haffi have length
Mek suh say dat de man 'ave batty fulla strength

Stood up for me when no one cared
Stood up for me where other men wouldn't dare
Made me know when true man love
Never made me feel he's old
Never gave me love that cold
You had better watch your food
Old men will dip into your plate

Now as 'oman have old man nuh a go find that she wrong
Now she a deal wid a foundation
De live de young man all a go mash up her plan
An' she wan some dollas in her hand

Girls, this is my advice to you!
A man that age has good experience!

So you won't have to bow, won't have to bow!
