Natalie Cole - Baby, It's Cold Outside lyrics

rate me

I really can't stay, baby, it's cold outside

I've got to go away, oh darlin' it's cold outside

This evening has been, just 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 that fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry, oh beautiful, please don't hurry

Well, maybe just a half a drink more

Why don't you put some music on while I pour

The neighbors will think, baby, it's bad out there

Say, what's in this drink, there's 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, sir, mind if I move in a little closer

At least I'm gonna say that I tried

Oh, what's the sense in hurting my pride

I really can't stay, baby don't hold out, ah, but it's cold outside

What are you doing with your coat

You don't need your coat

Why are you putting your coat on for

It's warm out here, you don't understand

I simply must go, baby, it's cold outside

Oh, the answer is no, oh darlin', it's cold outside

This welcome has been, lucky that you dropped in

So nice and warm, look out that window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious, please but 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, oh but your lips look delicious

Well, maybe just a half a drink more

They was never such a blizzard before

Ooh, I got to go home, baby, you'll freeze out there

Say, lend me your coat, it's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand, I trill when you touch 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 out

Ah, but it's cold outside, ah, but it's cold outside

Baby, it's cold outside, baby, it's cold outside

It's cold outside, it's cold, baby, it's cold outside

You know that it's, you know that it's cold outside

Ah, it's cold outside

Darlin' as a friend, sure James

As a friend you, you must stay and, and warm up by this fire little bit

Let me get you, let me get you a hot toddy or something

Well, I really can't my mother will worry about me

People are so suspicious, it's just an innocent suggesting

You stay warm and keep yourself healthy that's all

It's nippy out there, it's cold

Oh, you know that drink does look kinda nice

It is a perfectly nice drink

Baby, it's cold out, baby, it's cold, it's warm

Baby, it's cold out, baby, it's cold outside
