Oh, why oh why should love ever come
To a couple like you and me
Who's cold cold wars are never done
And hearts can't be free
So, let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you

The sun goes down and leaves me sad and blue
Even another night of this cold war with you
Though you won't speak and I won't speak it's true
Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through

Oh, why oh why should love ever come
To a couple like you and me
Who's cold cold wars are never done
And hearts can't be free
So, let's do right or let's just say we're through
I just can't stand another cold cold war with you
