Out in the Cold

I only wanted to play I thought what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him anyway But 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 payin' (payin') 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 the 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 --- Out in the Cold - Carole King
