Song Lyrics

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, 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 is 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 two seconds I actually feel bad for you but your time is up
And, Love (Love)
The worst is that the world ain't been so bad to me; I've had better love (love)

'Cause the same chicks who held your attention turned out to just be 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:

[Chorus]

And you know, Love...
The grass ain't greener, I swear, on the other side (other side)
I hate to see you, I swear, on the other side (other side)
I hate to leave you, I swear, on the other side (side)

I knew you had to go to see for yourself
I knew you would return once you saw the real deal
These girls out here a different breed; I know how you feel
Stay there in this cold, cold world to live

'Cause 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
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's out the storm; I'm so right, we're cool
And I'm sorry
