Tennessee Ernie Ford
Cool Cool Kisses
By Cal Martin
(as recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford)
I'll take the cold potatoes
That you feed me from a can
Don't mind the dirty dishes
That you stack up in the pan
I'll put up with your clothes
Hanging on my favorite chair
But, your cool cool kisses
Are something I can't bear
Don't mind your smelly pipes
A-sticking in your face
Don't mind your shoes and stockings
Spread around the place
I put up with the cigarettes
You put out on the floor
But, your cool cool kisses
I just won't take no more
I don't know what you're doing
But, your killing my desire
Maybe you're just trying out a game;
The kisses that you gave me
Thеy set my soul a-fire
'til you started throwing watеr on the flame
Don't mind the way you beat me
Every time we have a fight
Don't mind your dissipatin'
And staying out all night
I put up with a lot of things
The best way that I can...
But, your cool cool kisses
Are more than I can stand
(music interlude)
I don't know what you're doing
But, your killing my desire
Maybe you're just trying out a game;
The kisses that you gave me
They set my soul a-fire
'til you started throwing water on the flame
Don't mind the way you beat me
Every time we have a fight
Don't mind your dissipatin'
And staying out all night
I put up with a lot of things
The best way that I can...
But, your cool cool kisses
Are more than I can stand
You can give me cold potatoes
Hang your stockings in the shower
I'll light your smelly pipe
And clean your shotgun by the hour
...I'll warm up my kisses...
I'll make mine warmer, too...
'cause those cool cool kisses
Will never, never do!
