[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
