I Ain't Getting Any Younger - Anita O'Day (安妮塔·奥黛)
I tell you that I love you
And say let's set a date;
You tell me that you want to
But first I gotta wait
I talk of orange blossoms
And walkin' down the aisle
You always try to tell me
That somethin's out of style
But I ain't gettin' any younger
I ain't gonna wait too long
I talk about a future
And the house we'll have some day
You tell me you'll afford
But there'll be a slight delay
Don't try to keep me guessin'
By sayin' yes or no
I'm tired of all the stallin'
And I might just up and go
'Cause I ain't gettin' any younger
And I ain't gonna wait too long
Now insurance records prove that
Most anybody's life
Will be a little longer
With a husband or a wife
Won't you hurry up and ask me
To be your weddin' mate
'Cause baby you won't live long
If you procrastinate
I ain't gettin' any younger
And I ain't gonna wait too long
Now I don't believe in rushin'
Or doin' things in haste
But too much hesitatin'
Let's a good thing go to waste
'Cause I'm a flame that's fadin'
So be a good boy scout
Unless you do some fannin'
My flame is goin' out
Ain't gettin' any younger
Ain't gonna live for long
You say that you're not ready
To settle down with one
But if you keep postponin'
You may end up with none
So better make your mind up
'Cause time is goin' on
And though I'm called a real gone-down
I'll soon be really gone
Ain't gettin' any younger
And I'd rather die of hunger
Than be without a man
And I ain't gonna faint from waitin' too long
