Cold, Cold Heart

(album: Sings From The Heart - 1962)

You don't know who I am,
But I know all about you;
I've come to talk to you tonight,
About the things I've seen you do.

I've come to set the record straight,
I've come to shine the light on you;
Let me introduce myself,
I am the cold hard truth.

There is a woman we both know,
I think you know the one I mean;
She gave her heart and soul to you,
You gave her only broken dreams.

You say you're not the one to blame,
For all the heartaches she's been through;
I say you're nothing but a liar,
And I'm the cold hard truth.

All your life that's how it's been,
Looking out for number one;
Taking more than you leave,
Moving on when your done.

With her you could have had it all,
A family and lots of laughs;
If you had any sense at all,
You'd go and beg her to come back.

You think that you're a real man,
But you're nothing but a fool;
The way you run away from love,
The way you try to play it cool.

I gonna say this just one time,
Time is running out on you;
You best remember me my friend,
I am the cold hard truth.

You best remeber me my friend,
I am the cold hard truth...
