Spiders and Snakes
Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn Lyrics

I remember when Loretta Lynn said, "You want to walk me home again?
Loretta Lynn asked if I wanted to walk her home again.

And I said, "Mmhm, yes, I do"
I accepted Loretta's invitation to walk her home again

And she said, "Well, I don't have to go right home
Loretta said she didn't have to go home immediately

And I'm the kind that don't want to be alone, if you would, I would too"
Loretta didn't want to be alone and asked if I wanted to stay with her

And so we took a stroll and wound up down by a swimmin' hole
We went for a walk and ended up at a swimming hole

And she said, "Do what you wanna do, I don't care"
Loretta didn't care what we did

Mmhm, I got silly and I found me a frog in the water by a holler log And I shook it at her (eww)
I found a frog and teased Loretta with it

And I said, "Loretta this frog's for you" (put that thing on me)
I offered the frog to Loretta

I don't like spiders and snakes
I have a phobia of spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me
My love cannot be won with spiders and snakes

Like I want you to
I have certain expectations for how I want to be loved

Well, I think of that girl from time to time
I still think about Loretta from time to time

And I phone 'er up when I got me dime
I call her when I have the money to do so

And I say, "Hello baby, ain't you cool?"
I greet her warmly when I call

She said, "Do you remember when?
Loretta asks if I remember something

And would you like to get together again?
She asks if I want to see her again

And if you do, hey, I'll see you after school
If so, she suggests meeting up after school

Well (it's a crazy song ain't it)
I acknowledge that this is a strange song

I was shy and so for awhile most of my lovin' was tough and smile
I was shy and expressed my affection through small gestures

'Til she said, "Come on over here, I don't care"
Loretta told me to come closer to her

Mhm mhm, I was nervous as you might guess
As expected, I was nervous

Still lookin' for somethin' to slip out her dress
I was hoping for something more intimate

And she said, "Evidently Conway, you don't know why we're here"
Loretta tells me that I don't understand the situation

Yeah, I don't like spiders and snakes
I emphasize again that I have a phobia of spiders and snakes

And that ain't what it takes to love me
I reiterate that spiders and snakes cannot win my love

Like I wanna be loved by you
I want to be loved in a certain way by you

(We done done it, ain't we?)
We've been through a lot together, haven't we?

(This could feel good)
Things could turn out well between us
