Love, walking takes so long 

When you're alone 

This time don't it & love 

You had a hand to hold, but it just wasn't warm enough 

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 you was what you wish was home 

Same Mama who told you I was no good 

Got 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 



Love, for 2 seconds, I actually feel bad for you 

That your time is up 

Love, the worst is that the world ain't been so bad to me 

I've had better love 

Cause the same chicks, that held your attention 

Turned out to be just chickens 

Same ex, who was your back-up plan 

Moved on to a better plan 

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 



[REPEAT CHORUS]



[TALKING] 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 



[REPEAT CHORUS, AGAIN]



I hate to be the one, love 

But love,I thank you for showing me the world 

Don't turn, because of you 

Love feels so good, now that someones out the storm 

I'm so glad, we're cool, & I'm sorry
