Lyrics and translation
Original
You're begging me to stay, but I'm laughing in your face.
So desperate not to let your lavish care all go to waste.
But it was you who wanted love, not romance. You gotta pay the price.
You see, my body may be made of fire, but my soul is made of ice.
I'm mean, I'm cold.
I'm cold,
I'm told.
I'd like to love you, girl, but my body, my body has turned me into stone.
You're begging me to stay, but I'm laughing in your face.
You're desperate not to let all those years of care all go to waste.
But it was you who wanted love, not romance. You gotta pay the price.
You see, my body may be made of fire, but my soul is made of ice.
I'm mean,
I'm cold.
I'm cold, I'm told.
I'd like to love you, girl, but my body, my body, my heart is just made of stone.
I'm mean, I'm cold. I'm cold, I'm told.
I'd like to love you, girl, but my body, my body has turned me into stone
