Old Fashioned
Bruno Major Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's not very cool
Standing here, serenading like a fool
But I don't care
I'll gladly be a fool for you

I know the idea isn't new
To fall in love with someone on first view
But I don't care
I think I'll fall in love with you

I'll put on my Sunday best
You pick out your favorite dress
I'll take you somewhere new
I'll be old fashioned for you

It's a cliché, or so I'm told
To give your jacket up to someone when it's cold
But I don't care
I don't mind the midnight air
Oh, oh

I'll walk you home, to your front door
I'll say, "Farewell", until the morning calls
I'll be smiling a bigger smile than before

I'll put on my Sunday best
You pick out your favorite dress
And I'll take you somewhere new

I'll put on my Sunday best
You pick out your favorite dress
I'll take you somewhere new
I'll be old fashioned for you





Old fashioned for you

Overall Meaning

The song "Old Fashioned" by Bruno Major is a romantic ballad about a man who is willing to go against the trends and standards of modern dating to express his affection for someone. In the first verse, he acknowledges that serenading someone is not considered cool or popular anymore, but he is willing to do it anyway to show his love. He is not bothered about what people think and is gladly willing to be viewed as a fool for the person he loves.


The second verse acknowledges that the idea of falling in love at first sight is not a new concept, but he explains that he does not care. He has already made up his mind that he will fall in love with this person. The chorus speaks about how the singer wants to take his love interest out somewhere new, and he is willing to dress up in his Sunday best to do so. He wants to create a special experience for them, and he is willing to be old-fashioned in his approach.


In the second half of the song, the singer talks about how he is willing to be a gentleman and do things that may be considered cliché or out of fashion, such as giving his jacket to his love interest when it's cold outside. He intends to accompany her back home and say farewell until the morning calls. In the end, he repeats the chorus, saying that he is willing to be old-fashioned to show his love for this person.


Overall, the song is a beautiful ode to romantic love and an acknowledgment that sometimes going against the norms and being old fashioned can be the most effective way to show your love for someone.
