Nina Simone - It's Cold Out Here Lyrics
I really can't stay But baby it's cold outside I've got to go 'way But 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 Well maybe just a half a drink more Put some music on while I pour. The neighbors might think But 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 this spell I'll take your hat your hair looks swell. I oughta say no no no sir Mind if I move a bit closer? At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the sense of hurting my pride I really can't stay Oh baby don't hold out Ah, but it's cold outside Baby it's cold outside I simply must go But baby it's cold outside The answer is No Ooh baby it's cold outside The 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 My your lips look delicious My brother will be there at the door Waves upon a tropical shore My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Gosh your lips are delicious Well maybe just a half-a-drink more Never such a blizzard before. I've got to get home But baby you'd freeze out there Say lend me a comb It's up to your knees out there You've really been grand Your eyes are like starlight now* 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 doubt, Ah, but it's cold outside Baby it's cold outside It's cold out side. It's cold out side.
