Come close, don't be a stranger
We keep time in steps, I'm aware of the danger
Call me bitter, call me a domestic sinner
Just count the streets and don't say anything

I never find the time for passion
Kiss me and I might just act like it didn't happen
I don't need you to fall into
Baby, I'm not lonely, but you can hold me
Only 'cause it's a cold night in Brooklyn
Cold night in Brooklyn

A man, skeptic of skeptics
A liar, but in the moment tells the truth
Yeah, sure, your hand be'd nice to hold
But just 'cause I give in, don't mean I'm set and sold

I never find the time for passion
Kiss me and I might just act like it didn't happen
I don't need you to fall into
Baby, I'm not lonely, but you can hold me
Only 'cause it's a cold night in Brooklyn
Cold night in Brooklyn

I like my jackets oversized
I like my hair tucked behind my ear
I like being looked at a little too long
But that doesn’t mean I like you, dear

I never find the time for passion
Kiss me and I might just act like it didn’t happen
I don't need you to fall into
Baby, I'm not lonely
Baby, I'm not lonely

Baby I'm not lonely, but you can hold me
Only 'cause it’s a cold night in Brooklyn
Cold night in Brooklyn
Cold night in Brooklyn
Cold night
