Cold Shoulder Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Scanning my mind
Looking for happiness I can't find
I know it's said a lot, but time flies
Where did it all go wrong?
It's all gone wrong
It's a short life
Sometimes I like to over-analyse
Don't need to say it's behind your eyes
Where has the love all gone?
The love's all gone

[Chorus]
Take me to the days when you caught my eye
And we'd just stay in bed and we'd talk all night
I wanna feel the love, but the well's run dry
Oh, when did this get older?
'Cause now when I lean ovеr
I get the cold shoulder

[Verse 2]
Rеd eyes
I wanna fix it, but I'm dead inside
I had a memory that made me smile
Where did it all go wrong?
It's all gone wrong
We're living fake lives
I read the truth between the white lies
Feels like I'm watching from the side-lines
Where has the love all gone?
The love's all gone
[Chorus]
Take me to the days when you caught my eye
And we'd just stay in bed and we'd talk all night
I wanna feel the love, but the well's run dry
Oh, when did this get older?
'Cause now when I lean over
I get the cold shoulder
I get the cold shoulder

[Bridge]
Baby, just be honest
Tell me I've still got it
Tell me you still want it
Say we haven't lost it
Baby, just be honest
Tell me I've still got it
Tell me you still want it
Say we haven't lost it now

[Chorus]
Take me to the days when you caught my eye
And we'd just stay in bed and we'd talk all night
I wanna feel the love, but the well's run dry
Oh, when did this get older?
'Cause now when I lean over
I get the cold shoulder
[Outro]
Be honest
Tell me I've still got it
Tell me you still want it
Say we haven't lost it
Baby, just be honest
Tell me I've still got it
Tell me you still want it
Say we haven't lost it now

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 [?]
