Something Cool — текст песни (Rickie Lee Jones)

Written by Barnes)

Something cool
I`d like to order something cool
It`s so warm here in town
And this heat gets me down
And I`d like something cool
My, it`s nice

Just to sit down and rest awhile
Hey, you know it`s a shame
But I can`t think of your name
But I remember your smile
Well, I don`t ordinarily drink
With strangers
I guess I usually just, just drink alone
But you were so nice to ask me
And I`m so terribly far from home
Like my dress, well, I must confess
It`s very old
Hey, but it`s simple and neat
And it`s just right for this heat
Hey, I will save my furs for the cold
A cigarette, no , I don`t smoke them
As a rule
But, I`ll have one, it might be fun
With something

I`ll bet you wouldn`t imagine
But I once had a house
With so many rooms
I couldn`t count them all
Yeah, I know you wouldn`t imagine
But I had fifteen different guys
Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball
And I know you wouldn`t picture me
The time I went to Paris in the fall
Oh who would think the guy I loved
Was quite so handsome and quite so tall

Well, it`s through, it`s through
That was just a memory I had
One I guess I almost forgot
Oh, `cause the weather`s so hot
And I`m feeling so bad
About a date
Oh wait, I`m such a fool
He`s just a guy who stopped to buy me
Something cool
