私がオバさんになっても
森高千里 Lyrics

The lyrics of 森高千里's song 私がオバさんになっても talk about a woman's fear of growing old while being in a romantic relationship with a younger man. The first verse starts with her acknowledging how time flies and how quickly seasons change. She reminisces about a summer trip to Saipan with her lover and the fun memories they made. She then expresses her desire to go again next year. In the chorus, she directly asks her lover if he will still take her swimming and will he be satisfied with her old self wearing a modest swimsuit. She is worried that he is with her right now because she is younger and attractive, and she is afraid that once she ages, he will leave her for someone younger.

The second verse continues with the same theme. She asks if he will take her out dancing to a disco even though she won't wear miniskirts anymore, and then she asks if he will still take her for a drive with an open car top, looking cool together. In the bridge, she talks about how people talk about women's beauty fading after nineteen, but she knows that she will still be there for him even when she's old. The final chorus brings back her insecurities about being left for someone younger, and she asks if he will still love her when she's old and has a protruding belly. The last line is her again admitting her fears that he likes her only because she is young.

Overall, the lyrics convey a woman's sorrow, insecurity, and anxiety of aging in a relationship with a younger lover. It is a universal feeling that men and women share at some points in their life, but the song captures it with melancholic yet catchy tunes.
