[Intro] What’s this girl thinking, She want a elderly man (She wants an elderly man) A doh wrang ar still. (I don’t blame her though) Because she’s thinking about the dollar bill

[Chorus: Crystal] I'm in love with a man, nearly twice my age, Don't know what it is, but it’s a hit from me youthful days, As I go my way, I don't care what people say, I'm in love with a man, nearly twice my age!

[Hook: Shabba Ranks] Come now! Igle jube, jube - igle jube (Come now! Idle juvi, juvi… idle juveniles) She nuh waah no igle jube, jube... igle jube, (She doesn’t want any idle juvi, juvi… idle juveniles ) She want a man wi nuff load of di royalty (She wants a man with a lot of royalties) Di igle jube, yuh know seh im nuh have money (The idle juvenile, you know that he doesn’t have any money) She nuh waah nuh lover's honey, she waah di money, (She doesn’t want any lover’s honey, she wants the money) She nuh waah nuh lover's honey, she waah di money! (She doesn’t want any lover’s honey, she wants the money)

[Verse 1]
(Crystal) When I tell you girls, in my youthful days, I never loved another man my age, and then the don, he came along He made me smile all the while, and he stood tall and strong, so strong, so strong...

(Shabba Ranks) Young man have strength but that is not cent (Young men have strength but that’s not cents) She want a man fi let off recompense, (She wants a man that gives recompense) True! She wah pay light bill and rent, and (True! She wants to pay light bill and rent, and) You know you haffi have a big dividend and (You know you have to have a big dividend and) Dung di line you pocket haffi have length (Down the line your pocket have to have length) Mek sure seh dat yuh dollaz fulla strength (Make sure that your dollars are filled with strength)

(Crystal) Stood up for me when no one cared. Stood up for me where other men wouldn't dare Made me know when true man love Never made me feel he's old Never gave me love that cold You had better watch your food Old men will dip into your plate

(Shabba Ranks) Now dat she want a old man mi naw guh seh dat she wrang (Now that she wants an old man I’m not going say that she’s wrong) Now she a deal wid a foundation (Now she’s dealing with a foundation ) Di lilli young man only a guh mash up her plan (The little young man is going to mess up her plan) And she wants some dollars in her hand

(Repeat Chorus)

[Hook: Shabba Ranks] She nuh waah nuh igle jube, jube... igle jube, (She doesn’t want any idle juvi, juvi… idle juveniles) She nuh waah nuh igle jube, jube... igle jube, (She doesn’t want any idle juvi, juvi… idle juveniles) She nuh waah nuh lover's honey, what she want is money, (She doesn’t want any lover’s honey, she wants the money) She nuh waah nuh lover's honey, what she want is money, (She doesn’t want any lover’s honey, she wants the money) Di ooman is dealin wid maturity (The woman is dealing with maturity) Tha's why she nah goin tek nutten unda 30 (That’s why she’s not going to take anything under 30) 35 an 40, 45 an 60 65 an 60 di woman waah money (65 and 60 the women wants money)

[Verse 2]
(Crystal) Girls, this is my advice to you! A man that age has good experience! He'll treat you good, he'll treat you well, he may make you rich and proud, so you won't have to bow, won't have to bow!

(Shabba Ranks) Young man have strength but that is not cent (Young men have strength but that’s not cents) She want a man fi let off recompense, (She wants a man that gives recompense) True! She wah pay light bill and rent, and (True! She wants to pay light bill and rent, and) Mek sure say yuh pocket deh have length, and (Make sure that your pocket have length, and) Yuh collaterals haffi full up a strength (Your collaterals have to be filled up of strength) Igle jube, jube... igle jube, (Idle juvi, juvi… Idle juvenile) She nuh waah no lover's honey, what she want is money, (She doesn’t want any lover’s honey, she wants the money) She nuh waah no lover's honey, what she want is money, (She doesn’t want any lover’s honey, she wants the money)
