Cold, Cold World - Lyrics - Teddy Pendergrass

Theodore DeReese "Teddy" Pendergrass was an American R&B soul singer and songwriter. Pendergrass first rose to fame as lead singer of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in the 1970s before a successful solo career at the end of the decade. In 1982, he was severely injured in an auto accident in Philadelphia, resulting in his being paralyzed from the chest down. He subsequently founded the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance, a foundation that helps those with spinal cord injuries. Pendergrass commemorated 25 years of living after his spinal cord injury with star filled event, 'Teddy 25 - A Celebration of Life' at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center. His last performance was on a PBS special at Atlantic City's Borgata Casino in November 2008.

From one friend to another, It seems that something being bothering you? If you got a minute maybe there something I can say or do. See, I realize life has it changes Lot of changes, some times it seems things just don't go right, But there's one thing I want you to think About as you lie on your bed tonight. When the whole world seems against you And your whole life seems unborn And all you ever wanted was a little peace I could understand just how you feel But a little bit of peace of mind Nowadays is so hard to find And you can't even find it in your sleep Here some advise I think you should keep So I'm telling you Don't let this cold world get you down Don't let this cold world (Be Strong Hold On) Get you down, get you down (don't let it get you down) Cold, cold world, get you down Cold, cold world, get you down Listen Dry your eyes, don't cry no more What do you think a friend is here for? There's always something we can do me & you If things don't always go your way You've got to prepare yourself each and every day Oh, the changes that life will put you through (Repeat Sing-along) (Bridge) I wonder whatever happened to The happy song that I once know You can't let nothing bother you ever bother you Bother', bother' ever worry you (Repeat Sing-along) Hold on be strong I know that for some folks Life comes easy and for others it comes hard Some folks to keep on trying while others just get tried I need to share the things I learn
