Wanda Jackson Picture
Wanda Jackson(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Wanda Jackson (born Wanda Jean Jackson, on October 20, 1937, in Maud, Oklahoma) was the first female rock and roll singer in the United States, releasing her debut record in 1956. She is often hailed as the "Queen Of Rockabilly." Jackson was still in high school when country singer Hank Thompson heard her sing on an Oklahoma City radio show and asked her to record with his band. She dated Elvis Presley, who encouraged her to step away from the country-tinged gospel she had been performing since childhood and try her hand at rock and roll. She developed her own distinctive voice and performed in a variety of styles, from folksy traditional tunes to country twang and high yodels to throaty, suggestive ballads. She was a prolific singer of songs with wry lyrics such as "Fujiyama Mama," which contained many references to the World War II bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; ironically, it became a #1 hit in Japan.

Cool Love Lyrics

Wanda Jackson

You've been playin' it cool
I've been playin' a fool
(ooh wah)
Now don't you give me that cool love (give me that cool love)
Give me the kind I need (the kind I need)
Let's start gettin' with it, baby
You're actin' like a square to me (baby!)
Well, love's gotta be warm
And love's gotta be right
And this ain't no ice cube that you're with tonight
So don't you dish me out the cool love (give me that cool love)
It don't move me at all (move me at all)
And if you'd live it up, baby
Man, we'd really have a ball(baby!)
You've been playin' it cool
I've been playin' a fool
(ooh wah)
Now don't you give me that cool love (give me that cool love)
Give me the kind I need (the kind I need)
Let's start gettin' with it, baby
You're actin' like a square to me (baby!)
Now the clock is strikin' one
And we ain't had no fun
Just throw your arms around me
And the night has just begun
Now that's a little more like it (a little more like it)
Now you're doing all right (doing all right)
And if you keep it up, baby
I'll see you tomorrow night (see you tomorrow night)
See you tomorrow night (see you tomorrow night)
See you tomorrow night (see you tomorrow night)
See ya!
(Yeah)
