Baby It's Cold Outside

(album: This Christmas - 2015)

I really can't stay Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Father will be pacing the floor Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay Baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside

I've got to get home Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand Thrill when you touch my hand
Why don't you see How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay Get over that hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
