Cold, Cold World Songtext
von Teddy Pendergrass

From one friend to another
It seems that something′s been bothering you
If you've got a minute
Maybe there′s something that I can say or do
See, I realize that life has its changes
And sometimes things just don't go right
But here's one thing I want you to think about
As you lie in your bed tonight

When the whole world seems against you
And your whole life seems unborn
And all you ever wanted was a little peace
I can understand just how you feel
But a little bit of peace of mind
Nowadays is so hard to find
You can′t even find it in your sleep
Here′s some advice that I think you should keep
And baby


Don't let this cold world get you down
Be strong, hold on
Don′t let this cold world get you down
Don't let it get you down, no
Cold, cold world get you down
Cold, cold world get you down

Listen, dry your eyes, don′t cry no more
What in the world do you think that a friend is for?
See, there's always something that we can do
Me and you
So when things don′t always go your way
You've got to prepare yourself each and every day
For the things that life will put you through
I'm telling you, will you listen to me?

Don′t let this cold world get you down
When times are hard and friends are few
Don′t let this cold world get you down
Don't let it get the best of you
Don′t let it get the best of you
Don't do it
Cold, cold world get you down
Cold, cold world get you down


I know the road sometimes seems rough
And the going gets a little tough
But hold on, hold on
I wonder whatever happened to
Oh baby, that happy face that I once knew
You can′t let nothing
You can't let nothing
Nothing ever bother you, no

Don′t do it
Cold, cold world get you down

Don't let
Cold, cold world get you down

Hold on
Cold, cold world get you down

Be strong
Cold, cold world get you down

I know to some folks life comes easy
To others life comes hard
Some folks keep on trying
While others just get tired
Hold on
Cold, cold world get you down

Don't let this cold, cold world get you down
Don′t let this cold, cold world get you down
I need to share the things that I′ve learned
Don't let this cold, cold world get you down
I don′t wanna see nobody else get burned
Don't let this cold, cold world get you down
Don′t let this cold, cold world get you down
