This is a song from Pete Townshend's 'SCOOP' record(the 1st one)...a cool little country flavoured song about loving yer wife's cookin'...kind of funny...I like the line..' Sometimes I like the gas stove more than you '..lol !!..Pete Townshend's SCOOP records( I think he has 3 or is it 4?)...are all his demo's that he recorded for fun and to give the guys in THE WHO, for future consideration regarding their newest record or whatever...Really amazing stuff !!!...oh..if you listen real close at 2:16 you can hear some cooking utensils being banged around by my wife in the background..!!..lol !..fits in very appropriately !! I tuned the guitar to an open G..low to high...DGDGBD... and capo'd at the 5th fret.. Thanks for watching everyone !

Cookin' - Pete Townshend demo song

I didn't find out I was a coward till I ran away.
Didn't think I was a hypocrite till I tried to pray.
Didn't realize I was lost till I started lookin'.
I didn't know how much I love you till I tasted your cookin'. mm mmm...

I didn't know I was a cheat until I fixed the deck.
Never felt like a petty larcenist till I forged a check.
Didn't think I could hardly read 'til I started bookin'
I didn't know how much I love you till I tasted your cookin'.

For your garlic flavored steak I'd suffer nightmares.
For your mashed potatoes, I'd even dig the dirt.
For your roast beef, I'd even get a haircut
And to keep the larder full, I'd even work.

Didn't know I was such a good liar until I wrote this song.
But sometimes I like the gas stove more than you.
Despite the fact there's no girl quite as good lookin'.
Didn't know how much I loved you till I tasted your cookin' mm mmm...
Didn't know how much I loved you till I tasted your cookin'.

I didn't know how much I love you till I tasted your cookin'.

[PJNARS]

This song is a metaphorical abstract, of course, eatin her cooking means praying to God, the garlic mashed potatoes represent Meher Baba's teachings. Pete is sooo DEEP!
