DI've tried for a long time but I Gthink I can't Dwin
I'd do it all better if I could do it again
WherDever I'm going it's the Gsame place I Dbeen
Ain't it a cAold, cold wDorld
Outside it was hot but insGide I am cDold
The eyes of the young met the eyes of the old
And whDat they were thinking I'll Gnever be Dtold
Ain't it a cAold, cold wDorld
Then an old lady asked me bout this Gnew daylight Dtime
I said it don't matter and she said I don't mind
Then the Dbus driver said you still Gowe me a Ddime
Ain't it a cAold, cold wDorld
I can't get no job and I cGan't get no rDest
I started out east and I ended up west
And I'm Dso glad to be here I'm Gsure, I would Dguess
Ain't it a cAold, cold wDorld
I might have to leave you, I thGink's what Dshe said
Wish I could sleep 'stead of tossing in bed
And I Dfind myself thinking I'd be Gbetter off Ddead
Ain't it a cAold, cold wDorldG  
DAin't it a coAld, cold woDrld
