 |  |  | x 4
Feelin  young  and full  of fun
Hangin  out with  my crew
Hot  to trot  and about  to pop
 Tryin to find  some girl  to get into
There  she was  fine as  can be
 Hair braided  down to  her knees
She  took me home,  she turned  me out
 But before  sunrise she said  I must leave
 It was a cold  chill  on a summer  night
Never  thought the girlie  wouldn't treat  me right
 It was a cold  chill  on a summer  day
Never  thought the girl  would dog me out  that way
 It was a cold  chill  on a summer  morn
Never  cried like a baby  since the day I  was born
 It was a cold  chill  on a summer  eve
Never  had no chopper  bring me to  my knees
 I was feeling  so trusting
 Gave it all  right down  to the bone
 But she did  me wrong
 On a summer night
 Far from meek, and feelin chic
 Refusing to concede defeat
 There I was same crew, same time
 Same club we kicked it at the previous week
 I asked her how could she have the nerve
 To treat me with such disgrace
 She blinked her eyes, smiled, apologized
 Threw her drink right in my face
 I was feeling so trusting
 Gave it all right down to the bone
 But she did me wrong
 On a summer night,  on a summer night
 On a summer night,  on a summer night
A  cold chill, a cold chill, a cold chill, cold chill
 Weekends came and weekends passed
 But not the yearning in my heart
 And there she was to light the spark
 Like she did right from the very start
 I took no time, drove to her house
 Got deep into a passion high
 I heard a knock, the turn of a key
 And the voice of another guy
 I was feeling so trusting
 Gave it all right down to the bone
 But she did me wrong
 On a summer night, on a summer night
 On a summer night, on a summer night
 It was a cold chill
 Like standing in the deep freeze
 A cold chill
 Like when snow's above your knees
 Cold chill
 Like sitting at the north pole
 A cold chill
 Wearing not one stitch of clothes
 Cold chill
 Like a winter Chicago night
 A cold chill
 Twenty ice cubes down your back for spite
 Cold chill
 Stranded in sub-zero degrees
 A cold chill
 Layed out on the arctic sea
 Cold chill
 When your fingers get frost bite
 A cold chill
 Buried beneath ten feet of ice
 Cold chill
 Baby, that ain't so nice
 A cold chill

[N.C.]A cold chill, a cold chill, a cold chill, cold chill

Weekends came and weekends passed
But not the yearning in my heart
And there she was to light the spark
Like she did right from the very start

I took no time, drove to her house
Got deep into a passion high
I heard a knock, the turn of a key
And the voice of another guy

I was feeling so trusting
Gave it all right down to the bone
But she did me wrong
On a summer night, on a summer night
On a summer night, on a summer night

It was a cold chill
Like standing in the deep freeze
A cold chill
Like when snow's above your knees
Cold chill
Like sitting at the north pole
A cold chill
Wearing not one stitch of clothes
Cold chill
Like a winter Chicago night
A cold chill
Twenty ice cubes down your back for spite
Cold chill
Stranded in sub-zero degrees
A cold chill
Layed out on the arctic sea
Cold chill
When your fingers get frost bite
A cold chill
Buried beneath ten feet of ice
Cold chill
Baby, that ain't so nice
A cold chill
