Lyrics
Chorus
Throw a log on the fire
We're gonna be here awhile
I got the cold shoulder and she won't even smile
Time's not a problem c'ause I've got a few hours
Now hush up girl throw a log on the fire.
Verse 1
This romance of ours has suddenly grown cold
It's like a cold winter storm
When the north winds blows
My heart has been broken
And she's lost her desire
It's high time we throw a log on the fire.
Chorus
Interlude
Verse 2
Well I hollered and shouted and pitched a big fit.
She kept her mouth shut 'til she told me to sit.
She said boy your too bossy
And I'm sick and tired
Now i t's my time to talk
Go throw a log on the fire.
She said boy you're too bossy and I'm sick and tired
Now it's my turn to talk go throw a log on the fire.
Repeat Chorus
