Color Of Love

Well I used think the color of love would be a rosy red or a pretty pink
And I thought it would be a thirsty man crawlin' home to get a big old drink
And I thought love was spelled like a bell B-E-double L bell that you ring
Stead of wham bam hit your man with a pan
Hit him on the head and listen to the birdies sing
Oh you heart breakin' love makin' cut-me-a-piece-of-bacon man of mine
Oh you money shiftin' flour siftin' nose liftin' rose of woman kind
Just keep on doin' what you're doin' and what you're doin' suits me just fine
And love I tell you something else you blow my mind
Well I used to think the color of love would be a soft green like a pea in a pod
And I thought love would strike like a light flashin' down a big old lightning rod
And I thought love was spelled W-E-double L well that would never run dry
Instead of choke choke I'm so broke and dry I can't afford a little bitty tear to cry
Ha oh you money turnin' egg churnin' butter burnin' baby of mine
You half crazy lean and lazy pretty as a wilted daisy man of mine
Just keep on doin' what you're doin' and what you're doin' suits me just fine
And love I tell you something else you blow my mind
You day and night alright love me till I'm old and goin' blind
And love you're something else you blow my mind
