Baby, It’s Cold Outside Lyle Lovett

I really can't stay
(Baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go away
(Baby, it's cold outside)

This evening has been
(Been hopin' 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
(Beautiful, please don't hurry)
But maybe just a half a drink more
(Put some records on while I pour)

The neighbors might think
(Baby, it's bad out there)
Lyle, 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
(Now I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
