You're So Cold
Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord only knows
Why I, I love you so
You're a heartless man
I don't understand
Why you gotta be
Why do you need to be
So, so cold
So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Don't even feel

Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
You're so cold

You play games with my mind
Cheat and lie time after time
And I know you'll never change
But I just can't break away
I don't know why I let you treat me
The way you do
You're just no good for me
I wish I never fell for you, you are

So cold
How can you be (oh babe)
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Don't even feel

Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
You're so cold

So cold
Oh, many times
You keep me waiting around endlessly
You just laugh as I drown in despair
Never a worry, never a care
I don't know why I let you hurt me
The way you do
You've got a spell on me
I'm hopelessly in love with you, you are

So cold
How can you be (how can you be)
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Don't even feel

Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
You're so cold

So cold
How can you be (how can you be)
So cold
So cruel to me (give me your heart)
Ice cold (ice cold)
Don't even feel

Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
You're so cold

Made of stone
Oh you're wicked to the bone
I give you my heart
You tear me apart
You're like a devil in (you're like a devil in)
Disguise

Oh, so cold

So cold
How can you be (how can you be)
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Don't even feel

So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
(Baby your heart is so cold) ice cold
Don't even feel

Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
so cold

So cold
So cold
Ice cold

Your kiss is like fire




But deep down inside
You're so cold
