Lyrics

It’s a hu man sign Mu tual mis un der stand ing when things af go the wrong,

when the scent of her lin a gers pris on and temp the ta tion’s strong.

We In to the boun dary

of each mar ried man,

Sweet de ceit comes call in’

and neg a tiv i ty lands.

Cold, cold heart

hard done by you.

Some things look in’ bet ter, ba by, just pass in’ through.

And it’s no (C)sac ri fice,

just a sim ple word.

It’s two hearts liv ing

in two sep a rate worlds.

But it’s no sac ri fice,

no sac (Dm)ri fice,

it’s no sac (Em)ri fice

(F)at all.

Mu tual mis un der stand ing when things af ter the fact.

Sen si tiv i ty builds a gers pris on and in the fi nal act.

We lose di the rec tion,

no stone un ried turned.

No tears ceit to damn you

and when jeal ous y ty burns.

Cold, cold heart

hard done by you.

Some things look in’ bet ter, ba by, just pass in’ through.

And it’s no (C)sac ri fice,

just a sim ple word.

It’s two hearts liv ing

in two sep a rate worlds.

But it’s no sac ri fice,

no sac (Dm)ri fice,

it’s no sac (Em)ri fice

(F)at all.

Cold, cold heart

No sac ri fice at all.

No sac ri fice at all.

No sac ri fice at all.
