COLD FEET
(Rick Springfield) |
You just turned seventeen
When the moment came
He was standing on the corner
In the pouring rain
She pulled up along side
And rolled the window down
And said:
"Can I drive you in some part of town?"
Slink in beside her
With a great big smile
The lady had class
It stood out a mile
His heart was beating
Like a big bass drum
Thinking of flesh
His time had come
He started talking fast
Trying to loosen up
But he just felt dumb and stupid
So he shut up
She said:
"Don't think I'm fast 'cause I'm really not"
But he stayed a little while
It was getting hot
She pulled into the driveway
Of a big brown stone
He was champing at the bit
And in a husky tone
She said:
"My husband's working he'll be gone all day"
But he couldn't believe it
When he heard himself say:
"I'm getting cold feet"
"I'm getting cold feet"
"I'm getting cold feet"
Lady don't you hear me talking to you?
Hey there's something you can do
I'm so nervous I just might shoot through
I got them cold cold feet
Well a couple years on
And our hero's grown
He's a profession musician
With a band of his own
Hasn't had much luck
With the girls that he meets
Love has given him a case
Of terminal cold feet
Met a girl not too long ago
She thought she could change him
But it wasn't so
As soon as she mentioned long term romance
He went into that
Same old song and dance
I'm getting cold feet
Cold feet
I'm getting cold feet
Mama don't you hear me talking to you
Oh ain't there something that you can do
I'm so nervous I just might shoot through
I got cold cold cold cold
Said I got it
Cold cold cold cold
Know I got them
Cold cold cold cold
Said I got them
Cold cold feet
He increased his quota of one night stands
It was some kind of a complex you understand
He would treat 'em real mean
He was low down and dirty
Now he's got to make some changes
'Cause he's nearly thirty
You see he had a dream just the other night
He was standing in God's eye in the present light
God said:
"I'd like to let your life run its course
But don't you understand we have second thoughts"
I'm getting cold feet
Cold feet
I'm getting cold feet
Cold feet
Richard don't you hear me talking to you
I think you know what you have to do
You got to make some changes
You got the cold cold cold cold
You're getting' with your cold cold cold cold
You're getting' frigid cold cold cold cold
I said you got them cold cold feet
