Cold, Cold Heart

(Hank Williams)



You don't know who I am,

But I know all about you;

I've come to talk to you tonight,

About the things I've seen you do.



I've come to set the record straight,

I've come to shine the light on you;

Let me introduce myself,

I am the cold hard truth.



There is a woman we both know,

I think you know the one I mean;

She gave her heart and soul to you,

You gave her only broken dreams.



You say you're not the one to blame,

For all the heartaches she's been through;

I say you're nothin' but a liar,

And I'm the cold hard truth.



All your life that's how it's been,

Looking out for number one;

Taking more than you leave,

Moving on when your done.



With her you could have had it all,

A family and lots of laughs;

If you had any sense at all,

You'd go and beg her to come back.

You think that you're a real man,

But you're nothing but a fool;

The way you run away from love,

The way you try to play it cool.



I gonna say this just one time,

Time is running out on you;

You best remember me my friend,

I am the cold hard truth.



You best remeber me my friend,

I am the cold hard truth...
