[Krystal:]I'm in love with a man, nearly twice my age,
Don't know what it is, but its 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!

She nuh waan no lover's honey, she waan di money,
She nuh waan no lover's honey, she waan di money!
[Krystal:]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...

She want a man fi let have recumpense,
True! She wah pay lightbill and rent, and
You know you haffi have a big dividend and
Dung di line you pocket haffi have length
