Well, it's raining, and I'm out on the ledge,
Why'd you have to do it: throw me out, leave me right out on the edge?
Why'd you do that to me?
I wouldn't do that to you, no,
'Cause I believe in love, baby, and I thought that you did too, yes.
There's things in this world that a man can't take,
He can handle a heartthrob or a heartburn, but no way could he tolerate a heartache,
You left a big one, baby, deep down in the soul of me,
Let me rot in chains, baby, chains and fetters, all for your will to be free.
Cold night,
It was a cold night,
Why'd you have to leave me on such a cold, cold night?
Cold night,
It was a dog cold night,
Can you come back and warm me, baby, on that cold night?
A man has his pride, I could swallow it right up for a moment of your tender touch or a lifetime of your love,
A man has his principles, baby, his honour to defend,
I'll honour you more than in principle now, on that you can depend,
So go on and leave me in the cold night,
I'll keep that love fire burning, baby, 'til you decide to put it right,
I'll stand here alone, 'til one and one becomes two,
You're the only one I ever wanted; for your love, I'll hold true.
Cold night,
It was a cold night,
Come back and warm me, baby, on this ice cold night,
Don't leave me alone,
Come on home, yeah.
