Lyrics
You put a lot of trust in that man
But his kisses barely grazed your broken heart
And his hot hands strayed before you gave them leave
I guess I could have told you that part
You came off lightly, no lasting damage done
Next time I guess you're going to listen to my advice
If I told you once, I told you twice
There ain't enough salt to melt that ice
He's a cold man, he's cold up to the level
And he does his level best to seem less so
And he's fooled so many people so don't take it to heart
It isn't really such a body blow
He's a cold man, he's cold up to the brim
But it's those crystal eyes that make him seem so nice
Don't let him fool you, no, don't be taken in
There ain't enough salt to melt that ice
