Cold, Cold World Lyrics by Carl Thomas

Emotional

2000

[Intro]
I can remember the day I left you
Wasn't that long ago
I said some things I shouldn't have said
And I'm sorry
But you know, ever since that day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I've vowed to myself (Yeah, yeah)
To get you 'round again (Oh)
Just listen

[Verse 1]
Sitting here wondering what went wrong
Why did you have to leave me?
'Cause I don't really wanna go on
Because I'd rather plead and beg you to stay
'Cause I need you, woman, every single day

[Chorus]
It's a cold, cold, cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along but I can't
(Try to get along)
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why
(Why oh why)
It's a cold, cold, cold world
Living here without you in my life
(Cold world living without you, baby)
Although I try to get along but I can't
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why

[Verse 2]
Baby love, could you tell me what's on your heart
Because I really wonder, if we can make a brand new start
'Cause I'd rather die than live without your smile
Come on back home, baby
I've been missing you for a while, yeah

[Chorus]
It's a cold, cold, cold world
Living here without you in my life
(Living without you, baby)
Although I try to get along but I can't
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why
(Oh, why did you have to leave me, baby?)
It's a cold, cold, cold world
Living here without you in my life
(Oh, living without you)
Although I try to get along but I can't
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why
It's a cold, cold, cold world (Yeah, yeah, baby)
Living here without you in my life (Living, oh)
Although I try to get along but I can't
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why (Why, oh why)
It's a cold, cold, cold world
Living here without you in my life (Living)
Although I try to get along but I can't
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why

[Bridge]
Girl, all the wealth I have really doesn't mean a thing
If I can't share it with you, baby
Don't think I'd survive
Well, I've had it all, and lost it all
To have you girl, I'd throw it all away
Oh, baby, I need you, hey hey hey, yeah

[Outro]
It's a cold, cold, cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along but I can't
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why
(I'm trying to get along, yeah, oh oh oh)
It's a cold, cold, cold world
(But it's a cold, cold world)
Living here without you in my life
(Living without you)
Although I try to get along but I can't
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why
(I need you, baby)
It's a cold, cold, cold world
Living here without you in my life
(Nobody else is gonna do)
Although I try to get along but I can't
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why
(Nobody else can keep me warm)
It's a cold, cold, cold world
Living here without you in my life
(And I really mean it, oh oh)
Although I try to get along but I can't
(Try to get along)
'Cause I need you to be here, why oh why
