Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Released as a uk b-side in 1980
It looked a lot like the same old thing I've seen so many times She was aging fast like a bandit Born to a life of crime Meanwhile he held his crown and watched her fall Just bouncing her around like a rubber ball
Through her washed up eyes she could see That the ties on her prince were gone He turned the radio off when they played What he once had called their song Well the crystal didn't clink but they drink up more And when he stayed out late she knew what he stayed out for
Love's so cold when you're growing old and your looks are gone Love's so cold when your hands don't dance where they once belonged If he's heading down to the red light and the local bar Love's so cold when he shoots an arrow through your heart Love's so cold when he shoots an arrow through your heart
Due to natural causes she became distorted and she tried to leave But the winning team had an ace or two up a crooked sleeve For he knew that her age wouldn't help her get along And that's what made his hold on her so strong
