Verse 1
I’m just a lizard, sittin’ in the sun,
Change my color, watch the people run.
Green to brown, then back again,
Tryin’ to find the shade I’m in.
Verse 2
Met a lady lizard, eyes so bright,
Said “Come on baby, we can dance tonight.”
But her touch was colder than the ocean rain,
Froze me stiff and down I came.
Verse 3
Fell from the tree, hit the sand below,
Didn’t move fast, couldn’t let her know.
Cold-blooded love done turned me still,
Guess a warm-blooded heart can break at will.
Verse 4
Now I’m back in the sunlight, climbing high,
Shake off the chill, spread my colors wide.
You can change your shade, you can hide your skin,
But a cold-blooded love don’t ever win.
(Repeat Verse 2 for an ending)
Met a lady lizard, eyes so bright,
Said “Come on baby, we can dance tonight.”
But her touch was colder than the ocean rain,
Froze me stiff and down I came.
