Old Enough to Know Better Lyrics

Cole

In the prime of your life
At a time when a crisis is common in men
Old enough to know better
In the middle of life
Equally distant from mother and maker and
My, old enough to know better
Look at you man, she says
You're mutton dressed as lamb

Fancy yourself, very gentleman's quarterly
What in the world would a home county girl want with you?
Opportunity waits
In the window for men in a moment of weakness
Old enough to know better
And when it's too late, she smiles, takes your hand and says
Sorry I ruined your life
Old enough to know better
Look at you man, she says
You're mutton dressed as lamb
Fancy yourself, very gentleman's quarterly
What in the world would a home county girl want with you?
There's no release in your life
