When i woke up this morning I could feel that it was cold I could hear the traffic From that Detroit street below Mmmmm hmmmm I felt lonely When i told my mom about it She said please son do not go Uh ooooh Said there's nothing up there boy But concrete steel and snow Whoaa ooo ooohh She said I've been 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 Said i have a little love yet, girl This is how i think I'll try She said You'll be lonely 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 Heyyyyyyyy heyyyyyyy 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 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 Too cold in the winter Too cold in the winter When you see those skies are grey And you take your blues away And when you see that cold wind blow And you got down to your soul Too cold
