I’ve tried for a long time but I think I can’t win I’d do it all better if I could do it a-gain Wherever I’m going it’s the same place I been Ain’t it a cold, cold world Outside it was hot but inside I am cold The eyes of the young met the eyes of the old And what they were thinking I’ll never be told Ain’t it a cold, cold world Then an old lady asked me bout this new daylight time I said it don’t matter and she said I don’t mind Then the bus driver said you still owe me a dime Ain’t it a cold, cold world I can’t get no job and I can’t get no rest I started out east and I ended up west And I’m so glad to be here I’m sure, I would guess Ain’t it a cold, cold world I might have to leave you, I think’s what she said Wish I could sleep ‘stead of tossing in bed And I find myself thinking I’d be better off dead Ain’t it a cold, cold world Ain’t it a cold, cold world
