I've been burned

By cold, empty fire

I've been turned

And led astray

But you learn

Ooh, when you deal with a liar

That it's a cold, cold world

Cold world

When it's your friends

I've been taken

Down a blind street

I've been shaken

And led astray

You awaken

Ooh, with a bad, bad feeling

It's a cold, cold world

Cold world

When it's your friends

Can't you see how close I'm watching you?

Feel like dirt

They've taken my pride

And what's worse

I feel so betrayed

And it hurts

It hurts

Deep down inside

It's a cold, cold world

Cold world

When it's your friends

You know trust's

So hard to give

But you must

Or you're gonna be alone

Like dust, it just

Should not be

That it was a cold, cold world

Cold world

That it was a cold, cold world

Cold world

That it was a cold, cold world

Cold world

In the end
