Baby, It's Cold Outside

(album: Cee Lo's Magic Moment - 2012)

I really can't stay Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away Baby, it's cold out there
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?
And father will be pacing the floor Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well 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
To break the spell I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir 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
Oh, baby it's cold outside

I simply must go Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no I said it's cold out there
This welcome has been How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door Waves upon a tropical storm
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Oh, your lips are delicious
Maybe just a cigarette more Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home Baby, you'll freeze alive
Say, lend me your coat I mean it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand I'm thrilled when you touch my hand
But 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
Ohhh, baby it's cold outside
