Lyrics
I saw you standing in the corner, on the edge of a burning light. I saw you standing in the corner. Come to me again in the cold, cold night. You make me feel a little older, like a full-grown woman might. But when you're gone, I grow colder. Come to me again in the cold, cold night. I hear you walking by my front door. I hear the creaking of the kitchen floor. I don't care what other people say. I'm going to love you anyway. Come to me again in the cold, cold night. I can't stand it any longer. I need the fuel to make my fire bright. So don't fight it any longer -- come to me again in the cold, cold night. And I know that you feel it, too, when my skin turns into glue. You will know that it's warm inside, and you'll come run to me, in the cold, cold night.
