Tom Jones & Cerys Matthews Baby, it's cold outside Lyrics

CM: I really can't stay
TJ: But baby, it's cold outside
CM: I've got to go away
TJ: Ah, baby, it's cold outside
CM: This evening has been
TJ: Been hoping that you'd drop in
CM: So very nice
TJ: I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

CM: My mother will start to worry
TJ: Beautiful, what's your hurry
CM: My father will be pacing the floor
TJ: Listen to that fireplace roar
CM: So really I'd better scurry
TJ: Oh beautiful, please don't hurry
CM: Maybe just a half a drink more
TJ: Why don't you put some records on while I pour

CM: The neighbours might think
TJ: Oh baby, it's bad out there
CM: Say, what's in this drink
TJ: There's no cabs to be had out there
CM: I wish I knew how
TJ: Your eyes are like starlight now
CM: To break this spell
TJ: I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
CM: I ought to say no, no, no, sir
TJ: Mind if I move a little closer
CM: At least I'm gonna say that I tried
TJ: What's the sense of hurting my pride

CM: I really can't stay
TJ: Baby don't hold out
Both: Ahh, but it's cold outside

CM: I simply must go
TJ: Oh, baby, it's cold outside
CM: The answer is no
TJ: You know it's cold outside
CM: This welcome has been
TJ: I'm lucky that you dropped in
CM: So nice and warm
TJ: Look out the window at that storm
CM: My sister will be suspicious
TJ: Oh, your lips look delicious
CM: My brother will be there at the door
TJ: Like waves upon a tropical shore
CM: My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
TJ: Eww, your lips are delicious
CM: Well maybe just a cigarette more
TJ: Never such a blizzard before

CM: I've got to go home
TJ: Ah, baby, you would freeze out there
CM: Say, lend me a comb
TJ: You know it's up to your knees out there
CM: You've really been grand
TJ: I thrill when you touch my hand
CM: But don't you see
TJ: How can you do this thing to me
CM: There's bound to be talk tomorrow
TJ: Making my life long sorrow
CM: At least there will plenty implied
TJ: If you caught pneumonia and died

CM: I really can't stay
TJ: Get over that old out
Both: Ah but it's cold outside
