Lyrics

Stone Cold

You don't need a gun babe
To kill a man
Just make love, and break love...
I built you a castle babe, in them hills over town
Five simple words brought it all tumbling down

This is what the bitch said to me...

Babe, I'm gonna leave you
Babe, I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you Stone Cold

We made it all the way to Mecca baby
The Promised Land
So how can you leave me for another man?
I went to the preacher babe, I prayed to the Lord
I walked through the desert, I slept on the floor

All because the bitch said to me

Babe I'm gonna leave you
Babe I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you Stone Cold

I'm gonna leave you Stone Cold

I went to the doctor babe
I said, "Doctor...you gotta give me something to ease my mind!"
But he said...
"Hold up young man!
A broken heart takes time"

Babe, I'm gonna leave you
She said, Babe I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you
Stone Cold

I'm gonna leave you Stone Cold
