Baby, It's Cold Outside

(Album: Our Favorite Time Of Year - 2017)

[Carissa:]
I really can't stay

[Michael:]
But baby, it's cold outside

[Carissa:]
I've got to go away

[Michael:]
But baby, it's cold outside

[Carissa:]
This evening has been
[Michael:]
Been hoping that you'd drop in

[Carissa:]
So very nice
[Michael:]
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

[Carissa:]
My mother will start to worry
[Michael:]
Beautiful, what's your hurry?

[Carissa:]
My father will be pacing the floor
[Michael:]
Listen to the fireplace roar

[Carissa:]
So really I'd better scurry
[Michael:]
Beautiful, please don't hurry

[Carissa:]
But maybe just a half a drink more
[Michael:]
Put some records on while I pour

[Carissa:]
The neighbors might think
[Michael:]
Baby, it's bad out there

[Carissa:]
Say what's in this drink?
[Michael:]
No cabs to be had out there

[Carissa:]
I wish I knew how
[Michael:]
Your eyes are like starlight now

[Carissa:]
To break this spell
[Michael:]
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

[Carissa:]
I ought to say, no, no, no sir
[Michael:]
Mind if I move in closer?

[Carissa:]
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
[Michael:]
What's the sense in hurting my pride?

[Carissa:]
I really can't stay
[Michael:]
Oh baby don't hold out

[Carissa, then both:]
But baby, it's cold outside

[Carissa:]
I simply must go
[Michael:]
But baby, it's cold outside

[Carissa:]
The answer is no
[Michael:]
But baby, it's cold outside

[Carissa:]
Your welcome has been
[Michael:]
How lucky that you dropped in

[Carissa:]
So nice and warm
[Michael:]
Look out the window at this dawn

[Carissa:]
My sister will be suspicious
[Michael:]
Gosh, your lips look delicious

[Carissa:]
My brother will be there at the door
[Michael:]
Waves upon the tropical shore

[Carissa:]
My maiden aunts mind is vicious
[Michael:]
Gosh, your lips are delicious

[Carissa:]
But maybe just a cigarette more
[Michael:]
Never such a blizzard before

[Carissa:]
I've gotta get home
[Michael:]
But baby, you'd freeze out there

[Carissa:]
Say lend me a coat
[Michael:]
It's up to your knees out there

[Carissa:]
You've really been grand
[Michael:]
I thrill when you touch my hand

[Carissa:]
But don't you see?
[Michael:]
How can you do this thing to me?

[Carissa:]
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
[Michael:]
Think of my lifelong sorrow

[Carissa:]
At least there will be plenty implied
[Michael:]
If you got pneumonia and died

[Carissa:]
I really can't stay
[Michael:]
Get over that old out

[Both:]
Baby, it's cold
Baby, it's cold outside
