"Colder Than December" lyrics

You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah

Well you can spend one penny of love
But you won't get ten in return
'Cause you've just been given enough
Oh, you never learn, never learn
I get sad just thinking about
All the love less going without
And with a sigh, a scream and a shout
You let it out, let it out

Pretty as a spring day, but colder than December
How're you gonna feel it if you don't surrender
How're you ever gonna get to love
If you don't believe in true love

You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah
If you wanna feel love
You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
How're you ever gonna get to love
If you don't believe in true love, yeah

Don't we all just wanna be free
Don't we all just wanna belong
But it all means nothing to me
If I never have anyone
Like a dad who's never at home
'Cause he works himself to the bone
You could end up on your own
So bring it on, bring it on

Pretty as a spring day, but colder than December
How're you gonna feel it if you don't surrender
How're you ever gonna get to love
If you don't believe in true love

You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah
If you wanna feel love
You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah

I was on the edge of feeling lone now
And watch another breakfast TV show now
All the conversation knows my mind now
It's all that I can do to stop me cry now

Pretty as a spring day, but colder than December
How're you gonna feel it if you don't surrender
How're you ever gonna get to love
If you don't believe in true love

You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah
You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah
If you wanna feel love
You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah
You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah
If you wanna feel love
You got to be soulful
You got to give real love
You got to be there, yeah
