"Spiders and Snakes" Lyrics

(Jim Stafford - David Bellamy)
Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn

I remember when Loretta Lynn said ,
You want to walk me home again
And I said, mhm yes I do.
And she said, Well I don't want to go right home
And I'm the kind that don't want to be alone
If you would I would too.

Ha, ha and so we took a stroll
And wound down by a swimmin' hole
And she said do what you wonna do, I don't care
Mhm, I got silly and I found me a frog
In the water by a holler log
And I said Loretta this frog's for you.

I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I think of that girl from time to time
And I phone up when I got me dime
And I say, Hello baby, ain't you cool
Ha, ha she said, Do you remember when
And you like to get together again
If you do hey, I see I'm just cool.

Ha, ha Well I am shy and so for awhile
Most of my lovin' was tough and smile
Till she said come on over here, I don't care
Mhm mhm I would never say you might guess
Still lookin' for somethin' but a sneak out of dress
And she said... ha ha ha.

Yeah, I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you...
