James Taylor — Baby Its Cold Outside

[Verse 1: James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Both] I really can't stay Baby, it's cold outside I've got to go away Oh darling, 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 going to 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 [Interlude: James Taylor, Natalie Cole] What are you doing with your coat? You don't need your coat What are you putting your coat on for? It's warm in here You don't understand [Verse 2: James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Both] I simply must go Baby, it's cold outside Oh, the answer is no Oh darling, it's cold outside This welcome has been I'm lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm Look out the 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 There 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 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 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 [Bridge: James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Both] 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 [Interlude: James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Both] Darling, 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, I mean, 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 [Outro: James Taylor, Natalie Cole, Both] Baby, it's cold out; baby, it's cold It's warm in here Baby, it's cold out Baby, it's cold outside
