Baby, It's Cold Outside

Baby, It's Cold Outside - Petula Clark

Written by：Frank Loesser

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

But I've got to go away baby it's cold outside

This evening has been I been hoping that you'd drop in

So very nice I'll hold your hands that 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

To break the spell I'll take your hat your hair looks swell

I ought to say no no no sir mind if I move 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

Aah but 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 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 I thrill 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 life long sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied if you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay don't want to hold out

Aah but it's cold
