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

Hes 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 dont think Im fast
cause Im 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 husbands working
Hell be gong all day
But he couldnt believe it
When he heard himself say

Im getting cold feet
Im getting cold feet
Lady dont ya hear me talking to you
Hey theres something that you can do
Im so nervous I just might shoot you
Ive got them cold, cold feet

Well a couple years on
And our heros grown
Hes a professional musician
With a band of his own

Hadnt 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 wasnt so
As soon as she mentioned long term romance
He went into that same old song and dance

Im getting cold feet
C-c-c-c-c- cold feet
Im getting cold feet
C -c-c-c-c- cold feet
Mamma dont ya hear me talkin to you
No aint there something that you can do
Im so nervous I just might shoot you

Ive got cold, cold, cold, cold
Upset about it
Cold, cold, cold, cold
You know I gottem
Cold, cold, cold, cold
Said Ive got them cold, cold feet

He increased his quota
Of one night stands
It was kind of a complex
You understand

He would treatem real mean
He was low down and dirty
Now hes gotta make some changes
Cause hes nearly thirty

Cause see he had a dream
Just the other night
He was standing in gods ever present light
And God said, Id like to let your life run its coarse
But youd understand Im having second thoughts

Im getting cold feet
C-c-c-c- cold feet
Im getting cold feet
C-c-c-c- cold feet

Richard dont 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
Theyre getting rigid
Cold, cold, cold, cold
Youre getting frigid
Cold, cold, cold, cold
I said you got them cold, cold feet
