Cold-Hearted Man

If the meek shall inherit the earth
But a woman should stand in her worth
Tell me how is a poor girl to know then
Which way to seize the day

If you've ever seen a person try to prove he's got no fear
Then you've seen him
He will tell you all the sweet and lovely things you long to hear
But he don't mean 'em
Then he went undercover and found a new lover
When things didn't work out as planned
First he's treating you right then he's gone every night
That's a cold-hearted man

If you've ever known a person who is not afraid to steal
Then you've known him
Keeps his fortune in an envelope at home
It makes him feel a lot less lonesome
He got some old family money, he stole all the rest
We're all doing the best that we can
Ought to share what he's got
He would much rather not
That's a cold-hearted man
Ah man

Cut you off in conversation
Give direction, take the lead, tell you to follow
And he'll promise you the world then hide you away in a raised ranch
Right off of the Verrazano
He'll take a very nice lady and talk her down small
Till she fits in the palm of his hand
Keeps his love on the shelf
Only thinks about himself
And that's a cold-hearted man (cold-hearted man)
That's a cold-hearted man (cold-hearted man)
That's a cold-hearted man (cold-hearted man)
