Jessica Simpson › Lyrics › 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 cold as 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 one drink more
(Put some records on while I pour)

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 the 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 use in hurting my pride?)
I really can't stay
(Baby don't hold out)
Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go
(Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no
(Baby, it's cold outside)
Your 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 get 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'm thrilled 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
(Just think about my life long sorrow)
At least there'll be plenty implied
(If you caught pneumonia and died)
I really can't stay
(Get over that hold out)
Baby, it's cold outside
