I saw you standing in the corner
on the edge of a burning light
I saw you standing in the corner
come to me again
in the cold cold night
in the cold cold night
you make me feel a little older
like a full grown woman might
but when you're gone I grow colder
come to me again
in the cold cold night
in the cold cold night
I hear you walking by my front door
I hear the creaking of the kitchen floor
I don't care what other people say
I'm going to love you, anyway
come to me again
in the cold cold night
in the cold cold night
I can't stand it any longer
I need the fuel to make my fire bright
so don't fight it any longer
come to me again
in the cold cold night
in the cold cold night
and I know that you feel it too
when my skin turns into glue
you will know that it's warm inside
and you'll come run to me
in the cold cold night
in the cold cold night
in the cold cold night
in the cold cold night

Jack White:
"I wrote that specifically for Meg. I wanted it [to] be half Mazzy Star
and half Peggy Lee. I played it for her in my attic. Meg laughed, she
liked it. That organ sound was from me lying down on the studio floor
pressing the organ pedals. If you listen close you hear wood popping on
the piano pedal. Toe Rag's scary to a lot of people. They don't want to be
confined. But the limitations make you work."
Meg White:
"I've been singing more live, doing backups and we do that one Loretta
Lynn cover (Rated X). So, when we went in to record the album, Jack had
actually written a song for me, He was like 'It's kinda like Peggy Lee
Fever-esque.' I was like, 'Are you kidding? You think I can sing that?' I
like it, I guess."
