lyrics

I hope you find your muse, I hope that you’ll be happy
And I will bow my head and smile like them when you see me
You move so quick, quick baby, I got left behind
You’ve got a whole line waiting and I can’t read your signs

But you tell me to move with the times
I’ve got an old-fashioned mind, well that’s my mistake
You’re a modern man, don’t need to hold my hand
Well a class act doesn’t age

I’ll hold them close now, the thousand things we never said
You might never again say, ‘I love you’ but then
I can pretend
And tell me what kind of hero can’t hold the door
I could wait for you to save me and end up on the floor

But you tell me to move with the times
I’ve got an old-fashioned mind, well that’s my mistake
You’re a modern man, don’t need to hold my hand
Well a class act doesn’t age

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

But you tell me to move with the times
I’ve got an old-fashioned mind, well that’s my mistake
You’re a modern man, don’t need to hold my hand
Well a class act doesn’t age
A class act doesn’t age
A class act doesn’t age
