Act My Age Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1: Niall, Liam]
When I'm fat and old and my kids think I'm a joke
'Cause I move a little slow when I dance
I can count on you after all that we've been through
'Cause I know that you'll always understand

[Chorus: All]
I won't act my age, no, I won't act my age
No, I'll still feel the same around you
Hey!

[Verse 2: Louis, Zayn]
When I'm fat and old and my kids think I'm a joke
'Cause the stories that I told, I tell again and again
I can count on you after all we got up to
'Cause I know that you truly understand

[Chorus: All, Zayn]
I won't act my age, no, I won't act my age
No, I'll still feel the same around you
I won't act my age, no, I won't act my age (Act my age, no, I'll—)
No, I'll still feel the same, you will, too
Hey!

[Bridge: Harry]
When I can hardly walk and my hair is fallin' out
We'll still stay up till mornin', we'll throw the after-party
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

[Chorus: All, Zayn]
I won't act my age, no, I won't act my age (Act my age, no, I'll—)
No, I'll still feel the same around you
I won't act my age, no, I won't act my age (Act my age, no, I'll—)
No, I'll still feel the same, you will, too
Hey!

Genius Annotation

Act My Age is a song written by Ed Drewett, John Ryan and Julian Bunetta for One Direction’s fourth album, FOUR, released in 2014. The song is an uptempo and fast piece, and was performed by the band during their North American leg of their On The Road Again tour. The song has a very distinct Irish sound, and the lights become green, white and orange to represent the colours on the flag of the Republic of Ireland. The lyrics feature the boys talking about some time in the future where they’ll get to hang out and be young with someone special. This song could be written about the other members of the band, or it could be written about their romantic partners.
