I’m getting cold feet , c-c-cold feet
He was low down and dirty
In the pouring rain
He’s a professional musician
It was a kind of complex
And said, “Can I drive you
Of a big brown stone
He’s sitting beside here
And then her heart be told
He started Tallinn’ fast
But his fever went all wild
He met a girl not too long ago
His heart was a beating
Listen doncha here me talking to you
She said, “My husband’s working
He went into that same old song and dance
He was champing at the bit
And she stood out a mile
Upset about it
But you’d understand me having second thoughts
Of one night stands
Cold, cold, cold, cold
Now he’s got to make some changes
He was standing on the corner
She said, “Don’t think I’m fast
You got them
It was getting hot
I’m so nervous I just might shoot you
C-c-cold feet
With a great big smile
Might get another case of cold feet
Hadn’t had much luck
To some part of town?”
Trying to loosen up
Cold, cold, cold, cold
But he couldn’t believe it
They’re getting rigid
No there ain’t something you can do
I’ve got cold, cold, cold, cold
She pulled into the driveway
You gotta make some changes
Like a big bass drum
And our hero’s grown
And rolled the window down
When he heard himself say
I’m getting cold feet
As soon as she mentioned long term romance
'Cause he’s nearly thirty
I think you know what you have to do
Thinking at last
Said I’ve got them cold, cold feet
The lady had class
And God said I’d like to let your life run it’s coarse
Well, a couple years on
So he shut up
I’m so nervous I just might shoot you
Cold, cold, cold, cold
I’m getting cold feet
With a band of his own
His time had finally come
Lady, doncha hear me talking to you
Darlin’ doncha hear me talkin’ to you
I’ve got them cold, cold feet
Cold, cold, cold, cold
C-c-cold feet
C-c-cold feet
Hey there’s something that you can do
He’ll be gong all day”
He increased his quota
'Cause he had a dream, just the other night
You’re getting frigid
With the girls that he meets
But he felt kind a stupid
She pulled up along side
She thought she could change him but it wasn’t so
He would treat ‘em real mean
Go without, um
Cold, cold, cold, cold
I’m getting cold feet
I’m getting cold feet
I’m getting cold feet
He was standing in God’s ever-present light
‘Cause I’m really not”
You understand
