Baby, It's Cold Outside Songtext
von She & Him

I really can′t stay
(Baby, it's cold outside)
I′ve got to go 'way
(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 words you′re humming)
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 the 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 of hurting my pride?)

I really can′t stay
(Baby, don't hold out)
Ah, but it′s cold outside

I got to 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′m thrilled 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 lifelong 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)
