Cool on Your Island

Lyrics by Tori Amos

If you don't treat me better
baby I'll just run away
baby I don't know what drives you
to play all these silly games

hey, c'mon, baby
I'm much stronger than you know
sometimes I'm not afraid
to let it show

When will you wake up?
I want you more than the stars and the sun
but I can take only so much cool on your island
Is it cool on your island?

Hey, I gotta brand new dress, babe
could it make you wanna try?
I guess I didn't want to notice
the stars gone from your eyes

c'mon, baby
I'm much stronger than you know
sometimes I'm not afraid
to let it show

When will you wake up?
I want you more than the stars and the sun
but I can take only so much cool on your island
Is it cool on your island?

Hey
We could buy an airplane
build a home in the sand
you could tell your secrets
I could understand
but then by the morning
comes crumblin' down
and as you're leavin'
Wait

When will you wake up?
I want you more than the stars and the sun
but I can take only so much cool on your island
You're so cool, baby

When will you wake up?
I want you more than the stars and the sun
but I can take only so much cool on your island
You're so cool on your island
Is it cool on your island?
Is it cool, baby?
yeah

If you don't treat me better
baby, I'll just run away
cool on your island, yeah
If you don't treat me
then one day you'll wake up cold, yeah
then you'll know
you'll know
you'll know
you love me
