"Cold Love" is the second single from the Donna Summer album The Wanderer. Although the song did not gain as much success as its predecessor, it peaked at 33 in the US Pop Singles chart[1], it did receive a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

Vocally, this song contrasts with the just previous "The Wanderer" single release - it is very reminiscent of her 1979 "Hot Stuff" - power belt and hard rock approach. This style was currently in vogue in the early 80's and used by female vocalists in groups like Heart and in Pat Benatar's "Hit Me with Your Best Shot".

PLAYLIST TIME:

Cold Love

by: Alex Mica

In time the pain will wash away
But my heart will be broken
Because you took my love away
With all those unspoken
Never be the one to let it go, baby
You took me by a fool
You made my mind go crazy
This cold love is like fire
Burning in my soul
This crushing love and by...
In time the pain will wash away
But my heart will be broken
Because you took my love away
With all those unspoken
Never be the one to let it go, baby
You took me by a fool
You made my mind go crazy
This cold love is like fire
Burning in my soul
This crushing love and by...once I had it all
This cold love is like fire
Burning in my soul
This crushing love and by...once I had it all
I'm living this miserable life just filled with memories
Remembering those times when you next to me baby
What you ... my injury, slowness is killing me, every night
And I can't find no more
With this darkness well you can be sure one day
I will rise again from the bottom of this hell
With a smile on my face and I will change the pace
Never look back in time, I won't make one more crime
Cause I don't even wanna feel this, now
This cold love is like fire
Burning in my soul
This crushing love and by...once I had it all
This cold love is like fire
Burning in my soul
This crushing love and by...once I had it all.
