The sun goes down and leaves me sad and blue
After another night of this cold war with you
Though you won't speak and I won't speak, it's true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through
Oh, why oh why should love ever come
To a couple like you and me
Whose cold, cold wars are never done
And hearts just can't be free
So, let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold, cold war with you
The sun goes down and leaves me sad and blue
After another night of this cold war with you
Though you won't speak and I won't speak, it's true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through
Oh, why oh why should love ever come
To a couple like you and me
Whose cold, cold wars are never done
And hearts just can't be free
So, let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold, cold war with you
