Cold Hearted

Cold Hearted (often mistitled Cold Hearted Snake) by Paula Abdul is featured in Feud, the sixteenth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Santana with female NYADA students as back-up dancers and singers.

As Brody teaches a class as the T.A. in Dance 101 at NYADA, Santana enters the room. She warns Brody that she is a hardcore friend of Rachel and Kurt and, therefore, Brody should move out tonight because she knows who he really is - a gigolo. Asking the girls of the class for back-up, Santana sings the song, performing on a set-up of bars and poles, similar to the original video by the original artist. Santana pulls off an impressive performance, telling Brody to 'pack his bags' as she leaves.

Lyrics[]

Santana (with NYADA Students):
He's a (cold-hearted snake) (NYADA Students: Girl)
(Look into his eyes, uh-oh)
He's been tellin' lies
He's a (lover boy at play) (NYADA Students: Girl)
(He don't play by rules) (NYADA Students: Uh-oh)
(Uh-oh) Girl don't play the fool now

You're the one givin' up love

Santana with NYADA Students:
Anytime he needs it
But you turn your back
And then he's off and runnin' with the crowd

Santana:
You're the one to sacrifice

Santana with NYADA Students:
Anything to please him
Do you really think
He thinks about you when he's out

Santana (with NYADA Students):
He's a (cold-hearted snake) (NYADA Students: Girl)
(Look into his eyes, uh-oh)
He's been tellin' lies
He's a (lover boy at play) (NYADA Students: Girl)
(He don't play by rules) (NYADA Students: Uh-oh)
(Uh-oh) Girl don't play the fool now

Santana:
It was only late last night

Santana with NYADA Students:
He was out there sneakin'
Then he called you up to check
That you were waiting by the phone

Santana:
All the world's a candy store

Santana with NYADA Students:
He's been trick or treatin'
When it comes to true love
Girl, with him, there's no one home

Santana (with NYADA Students):
He's a (cold-hearted snake) (NYADA Students: Girl)
(Look into his eyes, uh-oh)
He's been tellin' lies
He's a (lover boy at play) (NYADA Students: Girl)
(He don't play by rules) (NYADA Students: Uh-oh)
(Uh-oh) Girl don't play the fool now

Santana with NYADA Students:
You could find somebody better girl
He could only make you cry
You deserve somebody better girl
He's c-cold as ice
As cold as ice
He's cold as ice
He's cold as ice
Stay away from him girl

C-c-c-cold-hearted
Ooh, ah, ah
C-c-c-cold-hearted snake
C-c-c-cold-hearted
Ooh, ah, ah
C-c-c-cold-hearted snake

Cold-hearted snake (Oh, whoa)
Look into his eyes (Into his eyes)
Oh-uh

Oh oh oh

Trivia[]

Naya Rivera got bruised during the rehearsal for this performance. Source
The original version of the song featured a rap, however it did not feature in the episode version.
In The Purple Piano Project Santana said that one of her goals was modeling her fierceness after the "latina número uno" Paula Abdul, the singer of this song.

Mistakes[]

When the performance starts, Santana uses the speaker to turn the song on. However during the performance, you can see violins playing the songs. Those violins also weren't there at the start of the song.
