Elton John - Love So Cold lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in 1980<br><br>It looked a lot like the same old thing<br>I've seen so many times<br>She was aging fast like a bandit<br>Born to a life of crime<br>Meanwhile he held his crown and watched her fall<br>Just bouncing her around like a rubber ball<br><br>Through her washed up eyes she could see<br>That the ties on her prince were gone<br>He turned the radio off when they played<br>What he once had called their song<br>Well the crystal didn't clink but they drink up more<br>And when he stayed out late she knew what he stayed out for<br><br>Love's so cold when you're growing old and your looks are gone<br>Love's so cold when your hands don't dance where they once belonged<br>If he's heading down to the red light and the local bar<br>Love's so cold when he shoots an arrow through your heart<br>Love's so cold when he shoots an arrow through your heart<br><br>Due to natural causes she became distorted and she tried to leave<br>But the winning team had an ace or two up a crooked sleeve<br>For he knew that her age wouldn't help her get along<br>And that's what made his hold on her so strong
