Darling I hate to tell you but I think I'm catching a cold
Put another chair on the fire bring the bottle over here
I feel I'm getting old
I like your laugh and a hot romance
and your orn'ry sense of humor
but if it rains again like it did today
I'm gonna have to leave a little bit sooner

Got to get me some South America sun

Honey don't even ask me if you can come along
Down at the border you need to be older
and you sure don't look like my daughter
Your ridiculous age, start a state outrage
and I'll end up in a Mexican jail
Darling please don't cry you know I wouldn't tell you no lie

Look over there
Oh my God don't look now
but it appears to be raining again
Get upstairs pack my book of prayers
Honey hurry I'm catching pneumonia
I gotta move while I'm in the mood
or I'll disappear into that wall
Darling please don't curse
it really couldn't be any worse
Say I'm a sun fanatic but it's dark in your attic
and your cat sleeps over my head

I know I'm not a football star
but I wanna little better than that
So I'm much obliged for the pure white ride
and a cup of tea every morning
I'll say goodbye, look your man in the eye
you know I wouldn't tell you no lie

So after all, I'll see you in the fall
on a brand new day, brand new way
Goodbye honey, goodbye honey
Goodbye honey, it ain't funny
Goodbye honey, I know it ain't funny

You have to have a taste for Rod; and I certainly do. He's great. 

 
True, and I certainly do not. In my case he sucks.

  Well how old are you?

Are you all kidding - this just straight-up jams.
Underrated as always.
Dammit! PSD isn't working. I like me some Rod Stewart from time to time, but this is dreadful.

Rubbish, to my ears, but I never understood the appeal.  Each to their own.
This is absolutely awful.  
He was great then. I'd rather listen to Rod and the Faces at their prime than the Stones.
Ha! Back when Rod was lots of fun. Full of vim and vigor, piss and vinegar. And he did one Dylan tune on at least the first couple of solo albums. Loved that, too

Oh no it's not :(
I like this version of Rod.  Hope to hear some more older tunes from him.

old Rod the Mod.
Great to hear some of his songs that were never played on the radio.  Adds a whole new dimension to Mr. Stewart.
OMG, when was the last time I heard this song?!  Love me some old Rod!
How about True Blue? 
First time I hear this song, I LOVE IT! Thanks Bill!!
Nice!  Some old school Rod!
