Overview
"Cold Dark World" is based on a bass riff of Scott Shriner's that he used as a warm-up exercise. When the other members of Weezer heard the riff, they expressed interest in it, and the band began to hash out an arrangement. Rivers Cuomo realized he had some lyrics that would go perfectly with the music, and the co-written song between Shriner and Cuomo was born, with the former singing lead vocals. Cuomo's lyrics were originally intended for a song with a brighter mood, but with Shriner's music and lead vocal, the end result was a creepier, dark feel.

Lyrics
<lyrics> I can watch little girl from the back of my car I see you and show at the place that you are Groceries spillin' up out of your bag Thinkin' you’ll end up a penniless hag
But I see the girl that you are deep inside Won't you allow me to give you a ride I can console you and give you kiss Show you that you can do better than this
Angel girl In a cold dark world I'm gonna be your man Angel girl In a cold dark world I'll make you understand
I know that you're thinkin' I'm trying to score But deep in your heart you know that I'm more Than a cad or a scoundrel Now that I've found you, I don't want to lose you How can I prove, you know that I am sincere You don't need to fear I'm not like the others; I'll be like a brother I will protect you, never disrespect you But if you need love then I'll be here to sex you
Angel girl In a cold dark world I'm gonna be your man (I'm gonna be there) Angel girl In a cold dark world I'll make you understand
It might take awhile to get with the style Life at the end of the miracle mile But you're gonna love the rising above All the trash that is sweeping you under the rug
I'm gonna be there
Angel girl In a cold dark world I'm gonna be your man (I'm gonna be there) Angel girl In a cold dark world I'll make you understand </lyrics>
