The Brian Setzer Orchestra Baby It's Cold Outside lyrics

I really can't stay, but 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 just like ice

My mother will start to worry, hey beautiful, what's your hurry
Daddy will be pacing the floor, listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry, oh, beautiful, please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more, well put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think, yeah but it's bad out there
Hey, 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 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 sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay, don't hold out
Ah, but baby, it's cold outside

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

The answer is no, but baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been, how lucky you dropped in
So nice and warm, just look out the window, baby look at that storm

My sister will be suspicious, gosh your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door and waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious, gosh your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a few minutes more more, never such a blizzard before

I've got to get home, but, baby, you gonna freeze out there
Hey, I need a comb, 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, when you think of my life long 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 baby, it's cold outside
