There ain't nothing colder
Than your old cold shoulder
And it's gettin' colder
Like every kiss

You say it's not over
Over and over
But your old cold shoulder
Tells me it is

What we had we don't no more
We can't feel it anymore
I thought a love like
Ours could never die

But you get colder every day
Every night you turn away
You couldn't say it
Any plainer if you tried

'Cause there's nothing colder
Than your old cold shoulder
And it's gettin' colder
Like every kiss

You say it's not over
Over and over
But your old cold shoulder
Tells me it is

But your old cold shoulder
Tells me it is
