Lyrics Nashville Cast – Baby It’s Cold Outside

I really can’t stay — Baby it’s cold outside
No I’ve got to go away — Baby it’s cold outside
Well 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 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 a half a drink more — Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think — Baby, 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 — Mind if I move in closer?
At least I’m gonna say that I tried — What’s the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can’t stay — Baby don’t hold out
Ah, but it’s cold outside

I simply must go — But, baby, it’s cold outside
The answer is «No» — But, baby, 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 — 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 — Ooh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more — Never such a blizzard before

I’ve got to get home — Oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there
Hey, lend me your coat — It’s up to your knees out there
Oh, you’ve really been grand — Thrill when you touch my hair
Why don’t you see — How can you do this thing to me?

There’s bound to be talk tomorrow — Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied — If you caught pneumonia and died

Goodbye
