Cold Rupert Holmes

Someone pulled me over, said, "Don't try to touch her
She is like a glacier mowing down a mountain
Like a block of ice—she's hard but most of all she is so Cold."
Cupped her hand in mine, I thought that just might throw her
Shivering, she backed away, and so I asked her
"Should I close a window? Do you need somebody to hold?"

"Are you cold? Are you cold?
Should we lay down beside this fire?
Should I turn up the heat much higher?
Are you cold? You seem cold
Are you one of the ones who tease
Or are you just a deep freeze?"

She threw me a glance that cut me like a sleet storm
Said, "I'm not that cold—I'm just a little choosy
Every time a woman takes her time, some man says she's so Cold."
Poured some spanish wine, I finally get to know her
Found that she was warm as currents in the Gulf Stream
Later in her room, she asked with eyes of coffee and gold:

"Are you cold? Are you cold?
Should we lay down beside this fire?
Should I turn up the heat much higher?
Are you cold? You seem cold
Are you one of the ones who tease
Or are you just a deep freeze?"
