Ive tried for a long time but I think I cant win
Id do it all better if I could do it a-gain
Wherever Im going its the same place I been
Aint it a cold, cold world

Outside it was hot but inside I am cold
The eyes of the young met the eyes of the old
And what they were thinking Ill never be told
Aint it a cold, cold world

Then an old lady asked me bout this new daylight time
I said it dont matter and she said I dont mind
Then the bus driver said you still owe me a dime

Aint it a cold, cold world

I cant get no job and I cant get no rest
I started out east and I ended up west
And Im so glad to be here Im sure, I would guess
Aint it a cold, cold world

I might have to leave you, I thinks what she said
Wish I could sleep stead of tossing in bed
And I find myself thinking Id be better off dead
Aint it a cold, cold world
Aint it a cold, cold world
