Frank Loesser - Baby Cold Outside Lyrics
I really can't stay (but, baby, it's cold outside). I've got to go 'way (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 words you're humming), and father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar). So really I'd betterscurry (beautiful, please don't hurry)……well, maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour). Theneighbors might think (but, baby, it's bad out there)……say, what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there). I wish Iknew how (your eyes are like starlight now) to break the spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell). I ought to sayno, 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?). Ireally can't stay (Oh, baby, don't hold out). Ah but it's cold outside (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 youdropped in) so nice and warm (look out that window at that storm). My sister will be suspicious (Gosh, your lips lookdelicious), 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). Well, maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before). 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'mthrilled when you touch my hand). Why don't you see (how can you do this thing to me?). There's bound to be talktomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow), at least there will be plenty implied (if you caught pneumonia and died). Ireally can't stay (get over that hold-out). Ah, but it's cold outside (ah, but it's cold outside)……Where could you begoing, when the wind is blowing, and it's cold outside? Baby it's cold, cold outside.
