(Bob McDill/Dickie Lee/Bucky Jones)

I'll bet that you're surpised to see me
Wonder what I'm doing at your door
But you can't be more surprised than I am
I thought I didn't need you anymore
Thought there was something waiting out there
Something I wanted but now it's so clear

Baby it's a cold, cold world
Out here tonight
It's nothing at all like I thought I'd find
So if you wonder why I'm standing here
I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride

If you slam the door, I wouldn't blame you
You've got every reason to turn me down
I was so sure I had the answers
After what I've been through, I'm not sure now
I won't say I love you, don't know if it's true
I will say I need you, God knows I do

Baby it's a cold, cold world
Out here tonight
It's nothing at all like I thought I'd find
So if you wonder why I'm standing here
I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride
