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
