(J.J. Cale)
Well, the river runs deep
And the water is cold as ice
The river runs deep
And the water is cold as ice
I go down there every chance I get
It's where my baby she met her death
And the river runs deep
And the water's cold as ice
Ain't no woman
Gonna make a fool out of me
Ain't no woman
Gonna make a fool out of me
Running 'round, that's what they said
She's at the bottom of the river dead
And the river runs deep
And the water's cold as ice
No cheating woman
Gonna get a good man down
No cheating woman
Gonna get a good man down
Running 'round like a silly fool
You're gonna end up at the bottom of the pool
And the river runs deep
And the water's cold as iceI've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
I've gone white-girl crazy, she's gone black-boy hazy
We're each other's baby, we're in love
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She can't love me, I can't love her
Cause they say we're the wrong color
Staring, gloating, laughing, looking
Like we've done something wrong
Because we show love strong, get real, come on
Calling us names too bad to mention
But we pay them no attention
For color blind are inner feelings
If we feel happiness
And know our love's the best, forget their mess
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
I've gone white-girl crazy, she's gone black-boy hazy
We're each other's baby, we're in love
Everyone's created equal
Hell with all you ignorant people
Trying to stereo type us
You really ought to quit
Cause you don't know jack, you make us sick
Get off my jock, you're trying to ride me
Because I got my girl beside me
You'll only make yourself look stupid
I love you're trying to dis
Cause we've got happiness, I bet you're pissed
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're
