Nina Simone - Marriage is for Old Folks lyrics

I love dancing crazy romancing
Fellas advancing constantly

Marriage is for old folks
Old folks, not for me! One husband
One wife whaddya got?
Two people sentenced for life!

I love singing good healthy clinging
Quietly bringing on a spree

Marriage is for old folks
Cold folks! Not for me one married he
One married she whaddya got?
Two people watchin' tv!

I'm not ready to quit bein' free
And I'm not willing to stop being me
I've gotta sing my song why should I belong
To some guy who says that I'm wrong?

Doo doo dooo de doo de doo
De doo de doo doo doo doo
Dooo

Cookin' dinner lookin' no thinner
Gray elbows and a sudsy sea

Marriage is for old folks cold folks
And it's not for me! One husband
One wife whaddya got?
Two people sentenced for life!

I'm exploding with youth and with zest
Who needs corroding in some vulture's nest?
I've gotta fly my wings go places, do things
My freedom bell's really gonna ring!

Doo doo dooo (etc)

I've been through years too many blue years
Now I want New Year's every eve
Marriage is for old folks
Marriage is for cold folks
That's what I believe one husband
One wife whaddya got?
Two people sentenced for life

Marriage is for old folks
Marriage is for cold, old folks not for me
Can't you see marriage ain't for me
