Out In the Cold Again
Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The song that you sang so sweetly
You called it our love refrain
It's gone and I'm lefted completely
Out in the cold again
I dreamed that our love would linger
But just memories remain
I gaze at the ring-less finger
Out in the cold again
Sure it hurts my pride to step aside for somebody new
But deep down inside my whole world it depends upon you
I wanted your arms around me to shelter me through all the rain
And now I'm back where you found me




Out in the cold again
Out in the cold again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Out In the Cold Again" by Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers speak of heartbreak and a painful sense of abandonment. The song's narrator is clearly reeling from a recent breakup, and they describe feeling completely alone and exposed in the face of their newfound singledom. They reference the love song that they and their ex-partner once sang together, now rendered obsolete and unpromising by the circumstances of their separation. All that's left for the singer is to look back on their memories of the relationship, and to feel the sting of the emptiness left behind when it ended.


The lyrics of "Out In the Cold Again" are emotionally raw and resonate with anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak. They are a testament to the pain that can accompany the end of a relationship, and the sense of loneliness and despair that can follow in its wake. The song's plaintive melody and slow, mournful pace echo the singer's sense of loss and longing, and build to an emotional climax that underscores the devastating impact of the breakup.


Line by Line Meaning

The song that you sang so sweetly
You once sang a song to me about our love


You called it our love refrain
You referred to it as the melody of our relationship


It's gone and I'm lefted completely
Our relationship is over and I am alone


Out in the cold again
I am now without love and support


I dreamed that our love would linger
I hoped that our love would last forever


But just memories remain
All that remains of our love are past memories


I gaze at the ring-less finger
I realize that there is no longer a ring on my finger symbolizing our love


Out in the cold again
I am alone and without love once again


Sure it hurts my pride to step aside for somebody new
It is painful to see you move on to someone else


But deep down inside my whole world it depends upon you
Despite the pain, my happiness depends on you


I wanted your arms around me to shelter me through all the rain
I longed for your embrace to protect me through difficult times


And now I'm back where you found me
I am once again in the place where we began our relationship


Out in the cold again
I am again without love and support

Could be my favorite from these guys. The beauty of their harmony is just mesmerizing. BTW, this same tune from Johnny Maestro and the Crests is also my favorite from them, for the same reasons.

Gary Morris

Well said. This one chokes me up. So beautiful.

Jeffrey Hall
