[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, oh yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Last night, you didn't call me, I tossed and turned
I called you all night, I was concerned
I prayed in my bed you was alright
I cried and I cried, I stayed up all night
[Chorus]
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold? (Why, why, why?)
Why'd you leave me all alone? (Cold, cold, cold)
Why'd you leave me, leave me, leave me? (Ooh, ooh yeah)
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold? (Why, why, why?)
Why'd you leave me all alone? (Cold, cold, cold)
Why'd you leave me, leave me, leave me?
[Verse 2]
These days are hard times for me
'Cause I really miss you, I'm unhappy
Why won't you call me? Where is your love now?
I can't forget, you're all I think of
[Chorus]
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold? (Why? Yeah)
Why'd you leave me all alone? (All alone)
Why'd you leave me, leave me, leave me?
(You left me standing in the cold, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold? (Oh, why?)
Why'd you leave me all alone?
Why'd you leave me, leave me, leave me? (Ooh, ooh)
[Bridge]
I know you're down, tell me what I've done (Done)
Take the blame, won't give you up (Oh)
Be with you just one more time (Time)
Time to make up my mind (Oh)
I know you're down, tell me what I've done (Down)
Take the blame, won't give you up (Oh)
Be with you just one more time (Time)
Time to make up my mind (Oh)
I know you're down, tell me what I've done
Take the blame, won't give you up
Be with you just one more time (Oh)
Time to make up my mind (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I know you're down, tell me what I've done (Yeah, yeah)
Take the blame, won't give you up (Yeah, yeah)
Be with you just one more time (Yeah, yeah)
Time to make up my mind (Oh, oh, ooh)
[Chorus]
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why'd you leave me all alone? (Oh)
Why'd you leave me, leave me, leave me?
(You didn't, you didn't, you didn't
You didn't give me time, give me time, give me time, yeah)
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold?
(Oh no, no, no, no, no)
Why'd you leave me all alone?
Why'd you leave me, leave me, leave me? (Oh, oh, oh)
[Outro]
Why you have to leave me standing in the cold?
