Lyrics Colin James

Colin James

Baby It's Cold Outside

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 just like 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 a half a drink more

Put some music 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

Ah, but it's cold outside

C'mon baby

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

Man, 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 look 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 comb

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

Ah, but it's cold outside

Baby, it's cold outside

Brr it's cold, it's cold out there

Can't you stay awhile longer, baby

Well, I really shouldn't alright

Make it worth your while, baby

Ah, do that again
