Baby, It's Cold Outside Lyrics - Cantatonia

I really can't stay 

But, baby, it's cold outside 

I've got to go away 

Ah, 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, what's your hurry 

And father will be pacing the floor 

Listen to the fireplace roar 

So really I'd better scurry 

Beautiful, please don't hurry 

Maybe just a half a drink more 

Put some records on while I pour 

The neighbours 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 there will be, oh, but I tried 

What's the sense of hurting my pride 

I really can't stay 

Baby don't hold out 

Ah, but it's cold outside 

I simply must go 

Ah, baby, it's cold outside 

The answer is no 

You know it's cold outside 

This welcome has been 

How lucky that you dropped in 

So nice and warm 

Look out the window at that storm 

My sister will be suspicious 

Ah, your lips look delicious 

My brother will be there at the door 

Like waves upon a tropical shore 

My maiden aunt's mind is visious 

Ooh, your lips are delicious 

Well maybe just a cigarette more 

Never such a blizzard before 

I've got to go home 

But, baby, you'll freeze out there 

Say, lend me a coat 

You know 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 

Making my life long sorrow 

At least there will plenty implied 

If you caught pnuemonia and died 

I really can't stay 

Get over that old doubt 

Ah, but it's cold outside 

(Bloody freezing, innit?)
