Baby, It`s Cold Outside

 

Baby, It`s Cold Outside Lyrics


[Written by Frank Loesser and published in 1948.
Originally performed by Betty Garrett and Red Skelton in the film "Neptune`s Daughter"]

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 cold as ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what`s your hurry
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 one 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, sir - Mind if I move a little 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
Baby it`s cold outside

I simply must go - Baby, it`s cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it`s cold outside
This welcome has been - I`m 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 so 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
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before

I`ve got to go 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 - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don`t you see - How can you do this thing to me
There`s bound to be talk tomorrow - Making 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 old out
Baby it`s cold outside
