Question
Lviv, Ukraine - May 13, 2025: Vintage Foreigner debut album cover from 1977, highlighting classic rock music style

Finish the Foreigner lyric: “You're as cold as ice…”?

Last updated: July 23, 2025

Foreigner's "Cold as Ice" became one of the most ice-cold (see what I did) breakup songs in rock history when it hit the airwaves in 1977. When the piano kicks in and Lou Gramm starts singing, it's just building up for the real emotional gut punch. What comes after "You're as cold as ice..."?

Correct Answer: You're willing to sacrifice our love

The complete line is "You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice our love," and it pretty much sums up every terrible relationship that couldn't put genuine feelings first. The track turned a weather report into a song about heartless relationships and it became one of their best-known songs, reaching six on the Billboard Hot 100. Mick Jones was at home at his piano one night when the riff for "Cold As Ice" just came out, so he wrote the song around it. The band recorded it during a blizzard in New York, which seemed like a good omen for the song.
