I'm Not Getting Any Younger Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

Since I've known you we've always been together 

And in that time the love we shared we vowed would last forever 

Yet marriage is a subject you approve 

Providing it has nothing whatsoever to do with you 

And much as I respect that view 

Have to state my case 

Though I'm far from being over-the-hill 

It occurs to me with each passing day 

That I'm not getting any younger 

God knows it wasn't my idea 

The years that used to take 

An eternity to make 

Are now passing at what seems like one a week 

If only we'd have met when I was your age 

Wouldn't have this awful fear I get when I leave your place 

You don't know how upsetting it can be 

To hear you talk of future plans 

None of which seem to include me 

Blue jeans and high heel boots are great 

'Course I still wear mine quite a bit 

But it's now more apparent than ever before 

Despite keeping myself fairly fit 

That I'm not getting any younger 

Even those gray hairs are now starting to appear 

And there are lines under my eyes 

That never used to be this size 

Even though it could be due to lack of sleep 

Something tells me that it's more to do with passing years 

At times I think perhaps it would be better 

If rather than go on this way 

Posted you a letter 

Explaining in great detail why I feel 

The way things are between us 

Suits you much more than it suits me 

You have you whole life ahead of you 

Well damn it I also have mine 

And unless I am by nature a freak 

There's no mistaking those deadly signs 

And I'm not getting any younger 

Look closely now and you will see 

The rebel in his teens 

Who thought all adults were obscene 

Is now somewhat disenchanted with the news 

That kids today have got no respect for his views 

And I'm not getting any younger 

Gone are those days when school reports were all I feared 

Now for the first time in my life 

I'm seeing something I don't like 

And am powerless to prevent from happening 

One day you'll find out for yourself just what I mean
