Remember you were all alone
Losin' your soul to the night
And when I held you close
I took what was wrong, made it right

And I know (I know)
You had no place
No place where you could lay your head
And I was (I was)
In the pourin' rain
The last helpin' hand you had left

You don't look up, you stare at the floor
Sippin' champagne from your glass
Maybe I'm standin' too close to ignore
I'll reach out, I'll rip off your mask

Cold shoulder
You sent me the message
You, you shot me down, yeah
Cold shoulder
You really have showed me
You can't look me in the eye

Remember, I'll be around
Waiting to meet you again
Believe me, it's me you've found
You'll have to keep lookin' away

And someday (someday)
When we're introduced
You'll act like you don't know my name
Now listen (listen)
You've got nothin' to lose
Who'd ever bring trouble your way?

You look at me, your eyes go straight through
Small talk is all you can do
Just look away (just look away)
Then head for the door
You don't give a damn anymore

Cold shoulder
You sent me the message
You, you shot me down, yeah
Cold shoulder
You really have showed me
You can't look me in the eye

Cold shoulder
You sent me the message
You, you shot me down, yeah
Cold shoulder
You really have showed me
You can't look me in the eye
