Cold Feet

He 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

To some part of town"

He's sitting 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 at last

His time had finally come

He started talkin' fast

Trying to loosen up

But he just felt kinda stupid

So he shut up

She said "don't think I'm fast

'Cause I'm really not"

But his fever went all wild

It was getting hot

She pulled into the driveway

Of a big brown stone

He was champing at the bit

And then her heart be told

She said "My husband's working

He'll be gong all day"

But he couldn't believe it

When he heard himself say

I'm getting Cold Feet

I'm getting Cold Feet

Lady don't ya hear me talking to you

Hey there's something that you can do

I'm so nervous I just might shoot you

I've got them cold, Cold Feet

Well a couple years on

And our hero's grown

He's a professional musician

With a band of his own

Hadn't had much luck

With the girls that he meets

Might get another case of terminal Cold Feet

He 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

C-c-c-c-c- Cold Feet

I'm getting Cold Feet

C -c-c-c-c- Cold Feet

Mamma don't ya hear me talkin' to you

No ain't there something that you can do

I'm so nervous I just might shoot you

I've got cold, cold, cold, cold

Upset about it

Cold, cold, cold, cold

You know I gottem'

Cold, cold, cold, cold

Said I've got them cold, Cold Feet

He increased his quota

Of one night stands

It was kind of a complex

You understand

He would treat'em real mean

He was low down and dirty

Now he's gotta make some changes

Cause he's nearly thirty

Cause see he had a dream

Just the other night

He was standing in God's Ever Present Light

And God said, "I'd like to let your life run it's coarse

But you'd understand I'm having second thoughts"

I'm getting Cold Feet

C-c-c-c- Cold Feet

I'm getting Cold Feet

C-c-c-c- Cold Feet

Richard don't ya here me talking to you

I think you know what you have to do

You gotta make some changes

You got them

Cold, cold, cold, cold

They're getting rigid

Cold, cold, cold, cold

You're getting frigid

Cold, cold, cold, cold

I said you got them cold, Cold Feet
