COOL ME DOWN (Ron Griffiths)
[Ron Griffiths demo from "How Much Is The Sky (The Iveys Anthology Vol. 4)" CD - recorded 1967 - released 2024]

My temperature's rising on account of you
My blood starts a-boiling like emotional stew
Like a raving volcano, I churn up inside
When you turn on your heat, girl, I'm all dead and dry

I'm quite a believer in keeping real cool
It may not seem natural, but I ain't no fool
I'm just like a snowman in front of a fire
You turn off your heat, girl, but melt my desire

So, cool me down (cool me down)
Yeah (cool me down)
Cool me down (cool me down, cool me down)
Before I burn (cool me down)
To a frazzle (cool me down)
Cool me down (cool me down)

But I can't resist you, there's steam everywhere
My clothes, they're a-soaking, and so is my hair
Jump into a cold bath, just cool down then
Love you so much, girl, come on and do it again

Cool me down (cool me down)
Yeah (cool me down)
Cool me down (cool me down, cool me down)
Before I burn (cool me down)
To a frazzle (cool me down)
Cool me down (oooooo)

Wow, cool me down (cool me down)
Yeah (cool me down)
Cool me down (cool me down)
Alright (cool me down)
Before I burn (cool me down)
To a frazzle (cool me down)
Cool me down (oooooo)

I said, cool me down (cool me down)
Yeah yeah (cool me down)
Cool me down (cool me down)
Alright (cool me down)
Before I burn (cool me down)
To a frazzle (cool me down)
Cool me down (oooooo)

Cool me down (cool me down)
That's alright (cool me down)
Cool me down (cool me down)
Cool me (cool me down)
Cool me, cool me, cool me down (cool me down)
Yes I...
