Cold, cold, cold
Cold, cold, cold
Freezing, it was freezing in that hotel
I had no money, my special friend was gone
The TV set was busted so she went along
I called room service
I'm down here on my knees
A peach or a pear, or a coconut please
But they were cold

Well, it's been a month since I've seen my girl
Or a dime to make the call
'Cause it passed me up, or it passed me by
Or I couldn't decide at all
And I'm mixed up, I'm so mixed up
Don't you know I'm lonely?
And I wish the world would get off of my case
And get on one of its own

Cold, cold, cold
Cold, cold, cold
That woman was freezing, freezing cold
Well, I tried everything to warm her up
Now I'm living in this cold hotel
'Cause she passed me up or she passed me by
Or I couldn't decide at all
Oh, I'm mixed up, yes, I'm mixed up
Don't you know I'm lonely?
Of all the things I had to do
I had to fall in love
You know she's cold

Turn your clock back, woman, when you see me coming 'round
My feet don't, feet don't even touch the ground
Don't be cold, don't be cold
Don't be cold, don't be cold
