Kid Creole & The Coconuts Mister Softee Lyrics

[Intro]
You're no good for me

[Verse 1]
I got a funny feeling, baby, that tonight you want to sleep with me
(Don't say it, you know you shouldn't say it)
But I got an appointment in the morning, need at least eleven hours of sleep
(You said it, I asked you not to say it)
I'm so sorry, babe

[Chorus]
You're a softie by trade
Mister Softee's your name
You're a softie and hardly my type
Don't say that, don't say that

[Verse 2]
Don't you make an issue over something that's as small as this
I'll make it up to you tomorrow, even then if you insist
Ohh

[Chorus]
You're a softie by trade
Who you talking to?
Mister Softee's your name
You're a softie and hardly my type
Don't say that, don't say that

[Bridge]
I've had enough in my life
Of sweet and sour ‘good-nights'
I know you can't satisfy
But, at least you could try
You're no good for me

[Verse 3]
Would you rather I forget about my livelihood and stay at home
(Don't say it, you know you shouldn't say it)
Well, then you must give up your credit cards, must give up your Maud Frizons
(you said it, I asked you not to say it)
I'm so sorry, babe

[Chorus]
You're a softie by trade Who you talking to?
Mister Softee's your name
You're a softie and hardly my type
Don't say that, don't say that

[Bridge]
I've had enough in my life
Of sweet and sour ‘good-night'
I know you can't satisfy
But, at least you could try
You're no good for me

[Verse 4]
You've got a funny way of showing me that baby you're in love with me
(Don't say it, you know you shouldn't say it)
Just because I need a little rest you wanna torture me
(You said it, I asked you not to say it)

[Chorus]
You're a softie by trade
Mister Softee's your name
You're a softie by trade
Mister Softee's your name
You're the softie my friend
You're soft in your head
Softie my friend
Soft in the head
You're a softie by trade
Who you talking to?
Mister Softee's your name
There's no sense squawking ‘bout it
You're a softie by trade
Don't say that
Mister Softee's your name
Don't say that

[Outro]
You're the softie my friend
You're soft, soft in the head
You're a softie I'm sure
Soft to the core
You're a softie by trade
Who you talking to?
Mister Softee's your name
You're a softie and hardly my type
Don't say that, don't say that
