The voice of an angel came to me
It said your future is there inside your cold cold heart
But I was just a boy
And a boy sees what he wants to see
And I saw nothing to share inside this cold cold heart
Somebody should have told me
That when you're born to this world
Your life starts slipping away

Come stand beside me
Come gather round me
Come stand beside me, Come gather round me
An' heat this cold cold heart
With love inside me
With arms around me
With love inside me, with arms around me
We'll heat this cold cold heart

Oh, when I became a man
The voice of a devil said to me
It said forever you'll live inside your cold cold heart
But I'm a better man
A wiser man who wants to be free
To have someone to care about this cold cold heart
Somebody should have loved me
They should have taken me on
Instead of taking away
