Jeffrey Osborne Baby, It's Cold Outside

Tekst piosenki

I really can’t stay – but baby it’s cold outside
I’ve got to go away – 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 just like ice
My mother will start to worry – Beautiful words you’re humming
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 neighbours 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 the spell – I’ll take your hat, your hairs looks swell
I ought to 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 – God 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 got to get home – But baby you’d freeze out there
Say, lend me a coat – It’s up to your knees out there
You’ve really been grand – I’m thrilled when you touch my hand
Why 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 hold-out
Ah but it’s cold outside – Ah but it’s cold outside
Where could you be going
When the wind is blowing
And it’s cold outside?
Baby it’s cold, cold outside
