Well it's raining   And I'm out on the ledge   Why'd you have to do it?   Throw me out   Leave me right out on the edge   Why'd you do that to me?   I wouldn't do that to you, no   'Cuz I believe in love, baby   And I thought that you did too      There's things in this world   That a man can't take   He can handle a heartthrob or a heartburn   But no way could he tolerate a heartache   You left a big one, baby   Deep down in the soul of me   Left me right in chains, baby   Chains and fetters all for your will to be free      Cold night   It was a cold night   Why'd you have to leave me   On such a cold cold night?   Cold night   It was a dog cold night   Can you come back and warm me, baby   On that cold night?      A man has his pride   I could swallow it right up   For a moment of your tender touch   Or a lifetime of your love   A man has his principles, baby   His honor to defend   I'll honor you more   Than in principle now   On that you can depend      So go on and leave me   In the cold night   I'll keep that love fire burning, baby   'Till you decide to put it right   I'll stand here alone   'Till one and one becomes two   You're the only one I ever wanted   For your love I'll hold true      Cold night   It was a cold night   Come back and warm me, baby   On this ice cold night   Don't leave me alone   Come on home
