Middle Age Crazy
Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones
He got a heck of a deal on a new Porsche car
He isn't wearing his usual gray business suits
He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star
Cause today he's 40 years old, going on 20
But don't look for the gray in his hair
Cause he ain't got any
He's got a young thing beside him
That just melts in his hands
And he's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can
He's got a woman he's loved for a long, long time at home
But the thrill is all gone, when they turn down the lights
And today he's 40 years old, going on 20
And don't look for the gray in his hair
Cause he ain't got any
And that young thing beside him, you know she understands
He's just middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can
Yes, he's middle aged crazy
Trying to prove he still can.
