Baby it’s cold outside lyrics

Artist  : Lee ann womack 
Song : Baby it’s cold outside
 
I really can’t stay (baby, it’s cold outside)
I’ve got to go ’way (baby, it’s cold outside)
The evening has been (I’ve been hopin’ that you’d
drop in)
So very nice (I’ll hold your hand, they’re just
like ice)

My mother will start to worry (hey beautiful,
what’s your hurry)
And father will be pacing the floor (listen to
that 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 oughtta say no, no, no sir (you mind if I move
in closer)
At least I’m gonna say that I tried (and what’s
the sense in hurting my pride)
I really can’t stay (oh baby, don’t hold out)
Oh, but it’s cold outside

I simply must go (it’s cold outside)
The answer is no (baby, it’s cold outside)
The welcome has been (so lucky that you dropped
in)
So nice and warm (look out the window at that
storm)

My sister will be suspicious (your lips look
delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (I ain’t
worried about you brother)
My maiden aunt’s mind is vicious (that ol’ biddy,
she ain’t gonna bother me)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (you don’t need
no cigarette, it’s smokin’ plenty up in here)

I’ve got to get home (baby, you’ll 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 touch
my hand)
Oh, but don’t you see (how can you do this thing
to me)

There’s bound to be talk tomorrow (well, 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 hold out)
Oh, but baby it’s cold outside
