George Duke
Love Can Be So Cold
Some mornings I wake and I feel great
Someone to love and no one to hate
But other times though I try life's a chore
And for no particular reason my back gets sore
You see the longer I live the more interesting it gets
The pains I feel, the ones I haven’t felt yet
I've seen friends change their attitude
Dress a little different and change their mood
And now I'm a parent with kids in school
I’m tryin' to teach thеm my golden rule
You'd think by now I'd have it all figurеd out
But just the mention of your name can take me out
I thought I was over you in my mind
But this time the laugh's on me
I could not see that's the way things play
It ain't no game you can't explain
Why love can be so cold
I’ve seen what was in go right out of style
Only to come back around in a little while
I’ve looked at my life from inside outside and above
Lord knows I've had a hard time shakin’ your love
And though we'd meet in secret to keep our love alive
Always someone sees us with their prying eyes
And now you've moved away and found another man
And I know in my heart all I can do is say is amen
Cuz' when you fall for someone you just can’t explain
A real feeling, it's a spiritual thing
I've said it before and I'll say it again
Though it really really hurts me I could never be your man
I thought I was over you in my heart but no not this time
That love's the one and I still run to you whenever I choose
Love don't play by rules not learned in school
How can love be so cold?
