the old woman in me

 The old woman in me, she don't wanna go back in time

Thinks her '50s might have been her prime, says don't give up on that man of mine
She's good at listening, says kiss 'em every time a kid walks in
Remember what your heart is for and you won't have to ask for more

She's a no-regret-er, yeah, a good forgiver, yeah
And where she's worn around the edges, go on and let her be
She's peace in a housedress, I'm a work in progress
I hope someday I get to be the old woman in me
