Album Cover Out in the Cold

Out in the Cold

Carole King

5

I only wanted to play

I thought what he didn′t know

Wouldn't hurt him anywayBut he found out

And someone else gave him her hand to hold

And suddenly I find myself out in the cold

He trusted me all the time

I thought I could see another man (see another man)

And he would still be mine

Well, yesterday I had a good thing

Worth more than gold

Today he′s got a truer love and I'm out in the cold

I had a love warmer than fire

But I listened to my desire

Now yesterday's dreams are tomorrow′s heartaches

I′m paying, paying for my mistakes

Now, girl, take a tip from one who knows

If you open up a new door

You may find the old one's closed

So be true to your good man

Take a lesson from this story I have told

Or you just might get left now out in the cold

You just might get left now out in the cold

Don′t let yourself get left now out in the cold

Don't let yourself get left now out in the cold
