I can remember the day I left you
Wasn't that long ago
I said some things I shouldn'ta said
And I'm sorry
But you know? Ever since that day
I've vowed to myself
To get you 'round again
Just listen
Sitting here wondering what went wrong
Why did you have to leave me
Cuz I don't really wanna go on
Because I'd rather plead and beg you to stay
Cuz I need you woman, every single day
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
Baby love could you tell me what's on your heart
Because I really wonder if we can make a brand new
start
Cuz I'd rather die then live without your smile
Come on back home, baby
I been missing you for a while
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
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, lost it all
To have you girl, I'd throw it all away
Oh, baby I need you
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
Cuz I need you to be here, why oh why
It's a cold cold cold world
Living here without you in my life
Although I try to get along, but I can't
