"She's So Cold" is a song recorded by The Rolling Stones, released in September 1980 on the Emotional Rescue album. It was also issued as the second single from the album, with "Send It to Me" as the B-side.

Reception

Billboard called it a "torchy rock attack."[5] Record World said that "Keith [Richards] and Mick [Jagger] have typical woman problems here, but they're hot as ever."[6]
