Long Cold Winter Lyrics

There will never be another man
That'll treat you just the way I do
There will never be another man
Who will love you just the way that he should

I turn the other cheek, do I dare turn away?
You're hopin' and you're wondering what it might take
It's gonna take a long, cold winter
Before I give my love back to you

I was draggin' my heart around
Like it was tied to a ball and chain
I put myself thru it
But, I won't put myself thru it, no, not again

I gave you every chance and more to learn from your mistakes
Hopin' and your wondering just what it might take
It's gonna take a long, cold winter
Before I give my love back to you

There'll never be another
Who will love you like I did
There'll never be another
Who'll treat you with respect

It's gonna take a long, cold winter
Before I give my love back to you

Long cold winter
I ain't talkin' 'bout summer
Merry Christmas, baby
And a Happy New Year 'Ciao!
