a Pumpin' & a Blowin' Lyrics

(Keep pumpin', blowin'; keep pumpin', blowin')



Hey it's an old wives' story,

Said it's old wives' tale.

It said love is glory, I tell you love's so frail.

Loving needs a bandage, and intensive care,

And it's a disadvantage, when you're playin' fair.



If you're treading water, and romance is on the slide,

Don't you know you have to swallow something more than water;

It's your pride.



Ah-huh, I've huffed and puffed

Just to keep love going.

I'm done, I've had enough

A pumpin' and a blowin'.



(Keep pumpin', blowin'; keep pumpin', blowin')



You know a woman's labor is never, ever done.

So could you do me a favor, and father tell your son:

If he's treading water, and romance is on the slide,

Don't you know you have to swallow something more than water;

It's your pride.



Ah-huh, I've huffed and puffed

Just to keep love going.

I'm done, I've had enough

A pumpin' and a blowin'.



(Keep pumpin', blowin'; keep pumpin', blowin')
