Something Cool Songtext
von Rickie Lee Jones

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 a while
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 drink alone
But you were so nice to ask me
And I'm so terribly far from home

You 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

I know you wouldn′t imagine
But I had 15 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
Ooh, who would think the guy I loved
Was quite so handsome and quite so tall

Well, it′s true, it's true
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
