| Lyrics: | He just turned seventeen when the moment came
He was standing on the corner in the pouring
rain
She pulled up alongside and rolled the window down and said
Can I drive you in some
part of town?
He swayed in beside her with a great big smile
The lady had class and stood
out a mile
His heart was beating like a big bass drum
Thinking at last his time had
come
He started talking fast, tryin' to loosen up
But it just felt kinda stupid so
he shut up
She said "Don't think I'm fast, 'cos I'm really not"
But it's fever, in a while
it was gettin' hot
She pulled in to the driveway of a big brown stone
He was jumpin' at
the bed and in to husk his own
She said "my husband's workin', here we got all day"
But he
couldn't believe it when he heard himself say
I'm gettin' cold feet, I'm gettin' cold
feet, I'm gettin' cold feet
Lady don't you hear me talkin' to you, ain't there something that
you can do
I'm so nervous, I just might shit through, I've got them cold cold
feet
Well a couple of 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
Some of them's
gettin' him a case of treminal 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 meant she'd long-term romance
He went into
that same old song and dance
I'm gettin' cold feet, c-c-c-c-c-cold feet, I'm gettin' cold
feet
Mama don't you hear me talkin' to you
Lord ain't there something that you can
do
I'm so nervous, I just might shit through
I've got cold, cold, cold, cold, said I got
them cold, cold, cold, cold
Oh I've got them cold, cold, cold, cold, said I've 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 'n' dirty
Now he's gotta make
some changes 'cos he's nearly thirty
You see, he had a dream just the other night
He was
standing in Gods under press of light
God said, "I'd like to let your life run its
course
But you'll understand me havin' second thoughts"
I'm gettin' cold feet,
c-c-c-c-c-cold feet
I'm gettin' cold feet, c-c-c-c-c-cold feet
Richard don't you hear me
talkin' to you, I think you know what you have to do
You gotta make some changes
You
got the cold, cold, cold, cold
You're gettin' pretty cold, cold, cold, cold
You're gettin'
fridgy cold, cold, cold, cold
I said you got them cold, cold feet
