Verse 1:
Love... walking takes so long when you're alone this time.
Don't it?
And love... you had a hand to hold but it just wasn't warm enough.
But now cuz the same shoulder that was so cold now needs one to lean on.
Same number that was so hard to call is your favorite one.
Same door you hated to walk in now was what you wish was home.
Same mama who told you I was no good forgot to tell you...

Chorus:
Love... it's a cold, cold world out there.
And when it rains it pours I swear.
And that big sea don't look so pretty no more.
I hate to be the one love.
Lover.

Verse 2:
Love... for two seconds I actually feel bad for you
but your time is up.
And love... the worst is that the world ain't been so bad to me.
I've had better love.
Cuz the same chicks who held your attention turned out to just be chickens.
Same ex who was your back up plan moved on to a better man.
Same friends who told you to leave have all tried to get at me.
Same mama who told you I was no good forgot to tell you...

Chorus:
Love... it's a cold, cold world out there.
And when it rains it pours I swear.
And that big sea don't look so pretty no more.
I hate to be the one love.
Lover.

Bridge:
And you know love...
The grass ain't greener I swear on the other side.
I hate to see you I swear on the other side.
I hate to leave you I swear on the other side.
I knew you had to go to see for yourself.
I knew you would return once you saw the real deal.
These girls out here a different breed.
I know how you feel.
Stay there in this cold, cold world to live.

Chorus:
Cuz it's a cold, cold world out there.
And when it rains it pours I swear.
And that big sea don't look so pretty no more.
I hate to be the one love.
But love... I thank you for showing me that the world don't turn because of you.
And love... feels so good now that someone's out the storm.
I'm so right, we're cool.
And I'm sorry.
