Too Cold In The Winter

When I woke up this mornin'
I could feel that it was cold
I could hear the traffic
From that Detroit street below, ooh-ooh
I felt lonely
When I told my momma «Bye»
She said «Please, son, do not go»
Said «There's nothing out there, boy
But concrete, steel and snow»
She said, «I'd be worried»
It’s too cold in the winter
It’s too cold in the winter
Lord save the sinners
It’s too cold in the winter
When I told that girl of mine
She said «Please just tell me why»
I said «I have a little life yet, girl
And this is how I think I’ll try»
Oooooh
She said «I'll be lonely»
Yeaaaaah!
She told me
«Think it over
Take it easy
Don’t just go and throw your life away»
«Take it easy
Think it over
Don’t forget what your momma said:
Too cold in the winter
Too cold in the winter
When ya see those skies are grey
It’ll take your blues away
And when you see that cold wind blow
It’ll get down to your soul
Too cold! Aaaaah!
