Is It Cold In Here Lyrics

There's something wrong 
Lord I'm feeling it too
That runs through my heart 
Like a torch cuts through nails
You haven't said a word
are you feeling it too?
Is it cold in here 
Or is it just you?

Did I leave the door wide open
And let the chill kill that old desire
Should I Put my arms around you 
or put another log on the fire
Is it my imagination 
Or did the temperature just drop 
A notch or two
Is it cold in here 
Or is it just you

There's no warmth at all
When I try to hold you near
You stare into space
If I wasn't here 
Did our love just die
Or is it just about to
Is it cold in here 
Or is it just you

Did I leave the door wide open
And let the chill kill that old desire
Should I Put my arms around you
or put another log on the fire
Is it my imagination
Or did the temperature just drop
A notch or two
Is it cold in here
Or is it just you

Oh is it cold in here 
Or is it just you
