The Color Of Love

Well, I used think the color of love would be a rosy red or a pretty pink

And I thought it would be a thirsty man

Crawlin' home to get a big old drink

And I thought love was spelled like a bell, B-E-double L

Bell that you ring

'Stead of wham-bam, hit your man with a pan

Hit him on the head and listen to the birdies sing

Oh, you heart breakin', love makin'

Cut-me-a-piece-of-bacon man of mine

Oh, you money shiftin', flour siftin', nose liftin'

Rose of woman kind

Just keep on doin' what you're doin'

And what you're doin' suits me just fine

And love, I'll tell you something else

You blow my mind

Well, I used to think the color of love

Would be a soft green like a pea in a pod

And I thought love would strike

Like a light flashin' down a big old lightning rod

And I thought love was spelled W-E-double L

Well that would never run dry

Instead of choke, choke, I'm so broke and dry

I can't afford a little bitty tear to cry

Ha-ha-ha-ha

Oh, you money turnin', egg churnin', butter burnin'

Baby of mine

You half-crazy, lean and lazy, pretty as a wilted daisy

Man of mine

Just keep on doin' what you're doin'

And what you're doin' suits me just fine

And love, I'll tell you something else

You blow my mind

You day and night, alright

Love me 'til I'm old and goin' blind

And love, you're something else

You blow my mind
