Baby, It's Cold Outside Lyrics - James Taylor At Christmas - James Taylor

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

I've got to go away, oh darlin' it's cold outside 

This evening has been, just 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 

My father will be pacing the floor, listen to that fireplace roar 

So really I'd better scurry, oh beautiful, please don't hurry 

Well, maybe just a half a drink more 

Why don't you put some music on while I pour 

The neighbors will think, baby, it's bad out there 

Say, what's in this drink, there's 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 ought to say no, sir, mind if I move in a little closer 

At least I'm gonna say that I tried 

Oh, what's the sense in hurting my pride 

I really can't stay, baby don't hold out, ah, but it's cold outside 

What are you doing with your coat 

You don't need your coat 

Why are you putting your coat on for 

It's warm out here, you don't understand 

I simply must go, baby, it's cold outside 

Oh, the answer is no, oh darlin', it's cold outside 

This welcome has been, lucky that you dropped in 

So nice and warm, look out that window at that storm 

My sister will be suspicious, please but your lips look so delicious 

My brother will be there at the door, waves upon a tropical shore 

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious, oh but your lips look delicious 

Well, maybe just a half a drink more 

They was never such a blizzard before 

Ooh, I got to go 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 trill 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 lifelong sorrow 

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

I really can't stay, get over that old out 

Ah, but it's cold outside, ah, but it's cold outside 

Baby, it's cold outside, baby, it's cold outside 

It's cold outside, it's cold, baby, it's cold outside 

You know that it's, you know that it's cold outside 

Ah, it's cold outside 

Darlin' as a friend, sure James 

As a friend you, you must stay and, and warm up by this fire little bit 

Let me get you, let me get you a hot toddy or something 

Well, I really can't my mother will worry about me 

People are so suspicious, it's just an innocent suggesting 

You stay warm and keep yourself healthy that's all 

It's nippy out there, it's cold 

Oh, you know that drink does look kinda nice 

It is a perfectly nice drink 

Baby, it's cold out, baby, it's cold, it's warm 

Baby, it's cold out, baby, it's cold outside
