BARENAKED LADIES - Baby It's Cold Outside lyrics

rate me

with Rita McNeil

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 cold as ice.

My mother will start to worry

Beautiful what's your hurry?

And 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 oughta 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 hurting my pride

I really 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 you dropped in

So nice and warm

Look out that window at that storm.

My sister will be suspicious

Don't your lips look 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 cigarette more

Never such a blizzard before.

I've got to get home

But baby you'd freeze out there

Say lend me a comb

It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand

I thrill when you hold 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 will be plenty implied

If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay

Get over that old doubt,

Ah, but it's cold outside

Where could you be going

When the wind is blowing

And it's cold outside
