Baby, It’s Cold Outside Songtext
von jschlatt

(I really can′t stay) but baby, it's cold outside
(I′ve got to go away) but 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?
(And my father will be pacing the floor) listen to the 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) but 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 sir") mind if I move in closer?
(At least I'm gonna say that I tried) what's the sense of hurtin′ my pride?
(I really can′t stay) baby, don't hold out
Baby, it′s cold outside

(I simply must go) but baby it's cold outside
(The answer is no) but baby it′s cold outside
(The welcome has been) how lucky that you dropped in
(So nice and warm) look out the window at the storm

(My sister will be suspicious) gosh, your lips looks delicious
(My brother will be there at the door) waves upon a tropical shore
(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) gosh, your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette more) never such a blizzard before

(I gotta get home) but baby you′d freeze out there
(Say, lend me a coat) it's up to your knees out there
(You've really been grand) I thrill 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 lifelong sorrow
(At least there'll be plenty implied) if you caught pneumonia and died
(I really can′t stay) get over that old doubt
Baby, it's cold, baby, it′s cold outside
