Lyrics: Dirty Ol’ Man
Dirty
You’re a dirty ol’ man
You can’t keep your hands to yourself
You’re a dirty ol’ man
Go mess around with somebody elseNow I’ve done told you
That you can look but please don’t touch
‘Cause you don’t understand what I mean
Can’t you see I’m not old enoughYou say that ain’t, ain’t nothing but a number
You’re much too experienced for me
Ooh, all you wanna do is take my love
All you want is another victoryDirty ol’ man
You can’t keep your hands to yourself
You’re a dirty ol’ man
Go mess around with somebody elseNext time you see me
You can speak but please don’t stuck
‘Cause I believed every word you said
And here I am with a broken heartYou won your game now
Don’t waste it on a date
No, no, no, no, no‘Cause you’re a married man
And I’m still free
Ooh, all you wanna do is take my love
All you want is another victoryDirty ol’ man
You can’t keep your hands to yourself
