Cold, cold as ice, but only to me,
To make you proud, who should I be?
I never could measure up,
Could I?
Cold, cold as ice, but only to me,
To earn your respect, who should I be?
I could never seem to do it
Myself,
Cold, cold as ice, but only to me,
To earn your blessing, who should I be?
I know that I can’t by being me,
Cold, cold as ice, but only to me,
To earn your love, who should I be?
