Out Here in the Cold Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Darlin', don't leave me out here in the cold
I'm begging you, baby, don't leave me out here on my own

I'll die
If you don't hold me tight tonight
I couldn't make it outside if I tried
So please let me in lover be kind

[Verse 2]
Darlin', don't desert me in here, it's so dark
Don't leave me here, darlin', don't you know I can't stand to part

Oh, but I'll stay
If you promise to keep me safe
I can't make it alone I'm afraid
Oh, my angel just don't go away

[Chorus]
Please, don't leave me out here in the cold
No, no, please don't leave me out here on my own
Darlin', don't leave me out here in the cold
No, no, please don't leave me out here on my own

[Chorus]
Please, don't leave me out here in the cold
No, no, please don't leave me out here on my own
Please, don't leave me out here in the cold
No, no, please don't leave me out here on my own
No, no, please don't leave me out here
Please, darlin', don't leave me out, leave me out here
Here in the cold

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 [?]
