How Can You Be So Cold? Lyrics

How can you be so cold
When i'm so hot
How can you be so distant and cool
When i am not

I’m on fire
And i'm burnin', burnin’, burnin' with desire
(oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh)

How can you walk away
When i need you near
How can you keep yourself way over there
(there, there, there, there, there)
When i want you here

I want you now
I've got to have your love somehow
(oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh)

I am tender to the touch
And i want you very much
Oh baby, and i'd be so good
You know that i would
I'd be so very good for you (oh - oh - oh - oh)
(oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I am tender to the touch
And i want you very much
Oh baby, and i'd be so good
You know that i would
I'd be so very good for you (oh - oh - oh - oh)
(oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh)

How can you be so cold
When i'm so hot
How can you be so cold, baby
When i’m so hot

How can you be so cold
When i’m so hot
How can you be so cold, baby
When i'm so hot

So hot, so hot
So hot, ooh, i’m so hot
So hot, yeah, i'm so hot
Mm, i'm so hot, ooh, i'm so hot

Yeah, so hot, yeah, so hot
Oh, so hot, ooh, i’m so hot
Yeah, so hot, whoa, i'm so hot
Oh, i'm so hot, oh i'm so hot, oh
So hot, yeah, so hot
Ooh, so hot, oh, i'm so hot, yeah
So hot, aah, so hot
Oh, i'm so hot, yeah, i'm so hot, aah

So hot, whoa, so hot
Yeah, so hot, aah, i'm so hot
So hot, so hot
So hot, so hot

So hot, so hot
So hot, so hot

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
