[Verse 1]
Love, walking takes so long when you're alone
This time, don't it
And love, you had a hand to hold
But it just wasn't warm enough

[Pre-Chorus]
But now, cause the same shoulder that was so cold
Now, needs one to lean on
Same number that was so hard to call
Is your favorite one
Same door you hated to walk in
Now was what you wish was home
Same mama who told you I was no good
Forgot to tell you

[Chorus]
Love, it's a cold, cold world out there
And when it rains it pours, I swear
And that big sea don't look so pretty no more
I hate to be the one, love
Lover

[Verse 2]
Love, for two seconds, I actually felt bad for you
But your time is up
Love, the worst is that the world ain't been so bad to me
I've had better love
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause the same chicks who held your attention
Turned out to be just chickens
Same ex who was your back-up plan
Moved on to a better man
Same friends who told you to leave
Have all tried to get at me
Same mama who told you I was no good
Forgot to tell you

[Chorus]
Love, it's a cold, cold world out there
And when it rains it pours, I swear
And that big sea don't look so pretty no more
I hate to be the one, love
Lover

[Bridge]
And you know, love....
The grass ain't greener, I swear, on the other side
I hate to see you, I swear, on the other side
I hate to leave you, I swear, on the other side
I knew you had to go to see for yourself
I knew you would return, once you saw the real deal
The girls out here are a different breed
I know how you feel
Stay there, in this cold, cold world to live
[Chorus]
Love, it's a cold, cold world out there
And when it rains it pours, I swear
And that big sea don't look so pretty no more
I hate to be the one, love
Lover

[Outro]
But love, I thank you for showing me that the world
Don't turn, because of you
And love feels so good now that someone stopped the storm
I'm so warm, we're cool, and I'm sorry
