[Verse 1]
I mustn't like you nor let you paint my heart
The color of your soul we should stay apart
I'm thirsty, I'm out of juice
I'm all alone and pretty soon
Enough can't find the mood to bear this blue
Your complicated shade is leaving me but shame
Won't you get off my case and release me from your lace

[Chorus]
And you say buckets of cold water is everything you need
Buckets of cold water, as cold as it can be
Buckets of cold water is everything you need
Buckets of cold water, as cold as it can be

[Verse 2]
And you say, you are too hot
It's crime, let's make a deal
You violate my rights, my love, don't try to steal it
You make me feel too much
I cannot go that deep
You should plea guilty
No, that's what you should scream
There is no room for you
In my own, little lousy life
I'm pushing you out of it
Starting tonight
[Chorus]
And you say buckets of cold water is everything you need
Buckets of cold water, as cold as it can be
Buckets of cold water is everything you need
Buckets of cold water, as cold as it can

[Bridge]
Your honor, what is this, a court of love?
Love should be free and fly like a dove
I can love you if that is what I really want
You can't stop me from doing that, oh no
I'm losing my dignity over here, can't you see?
Am I really too hot for you baby?
If so, I don't wanna live

[Chorus]
And you say buckets of cold water is everything you need
Buckets of cold water, as cold as it can be
Buckets of cold water is everything you need
Buckets of cold water, as cold as it can

[Outro]
And you say buckets of cold water is everything you need
Buckets of cold water, as cold as it can be
Buckets of cold water is everything you need
Buckets of cold water, as cold as it can be
