I've been burned
By cold, empty fire
I've been turned
And led astray
But you learn
Ooh, when you deal with a liar
That it's a cold, cold world
Cold world
When it's your friends

I've been taken
Down a blind street
I've been shaken
And led astray
You awaken
Ooh, with a bad, bad feeling

It's a cold, cold world
Cold world
When it's your friends

Can't you see how close I'm watching you?

Feel like dirt
They've taken my pride
And what's worse
I feel so betrayed
And it hurts
It hurts
Deep down inside
It's a cold, cold world
Cold world
When it's your friends

You know trust's
So hard to give
But you must
Or you're gonna be alone
Like dust, it just
Should not be

That it was a cold, cold world
Cold world
That it was a cold, cold world
Cold world
That it was a cold, cold world
Cold world
In the end
