"Ice" lyrics

(One, two, three)

She said, "You know, Johnny, it's been such a long time
Since I saw that pretty smile of yours meet mine
And I'd help you make it through if only I knew
What in the world I could do for you"

The last thing I want is to have my problems on your mind
Let's talk about the weather, how's your newest lover?
Hope it treats you sweet and kind
I can take care of me, can't you see I've got it all figured out?

And it seems to be our lives are like the ice inside
This paper cup, we both start out with a job to do
But age and fade away 'til we get swallowed up

Baby, I don't want to bring you down by singing such a sad line
But I do believe my creed is true, so, what's the use in wasting time?
The hell with philosophy, 'cause right it's just you and me
And everything's fine

See, our lives are like the ice inside
This paper cup, we both start out with a job to do
But age and fade away 'til we get swallowed up

You see, our lives are like the ice inside
This paper cup, we both start out with a job to do
But age and fade away, the ice like me and you
Just melts and fades away 'til we get swallowed up
