Don't Cut Any Ice

Don't Cut Any Ice

Now don't you come back running to me,
Don't you know that I'm not for free.
Heard all your stories, heard all your lies,
But what you say don't cut any ice.

Words aren't actions, thoughts aren't deeds,
Telling me flowers ain't killing the weeds.
Don't tell me you love me, don't tell me it's true,
Give me some action, give me some do.

It don't cut any ice, so don't tell me no lies,
Heard all your stories, but they don't cut any ice.

Said you cared, loved only me.
Do you think I'm the fruit off a coconut tree?
Heard all your stories, heard all your lies,
But what you say don't cut any ice.
