I've tried for a long time
And I think I can't win
I'd do it all better if I could do it again
Wherever I'm going, it's the same place I've 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?
I can't get no job and I can't get no rest
I started out east but I ended up west
And I'm so glad to be here, I'm sure, I guess
Ain't it a cold, cold world?
I might have to leave you
I think's what she said
I wish I could sleep 'stead of tossing in bed
And I find myself thinking I'd rather be dead
Ain't it a cold, cold world?
Ain't it a cold, cold world?
Ain't it a cold, cold world?
Ain't it a cold, cold, cold, world?
