Outside
Brooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to go 'way (Baby, it's cold outside)
This evening has 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)
My father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful, please don't hurry)
The neighbors might think (Baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how to break the spell (Your eyes are like starlight now)
(I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (Oh, baby, don't hold out)
Baby, it's cold outside
I simply must go (Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (baby, it's cold outside)
This welcome has been so nice and warm (How lucky that you dropped in)
(Look out that 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 (Gosh, your lips are delicious)
Oh, maybe just a kiss more (Never such a blizzard before)
I've got to get 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 but don't you see (I'm thrilled when you touch my hand)
(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 (Can't get over that hold out)
Baby, it's cold, baby, it's cold outside
The song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" is a classic duet originally written by Frank Loesser in 1944. In the song, a man tries to convince a woman to stay the night with him because "baby, it's cold outside." Throughout the song, the woman voices her concerns about staying with him, citing societal pressures to act proper and not stay overnight. However, the male character continually charms her with flattery and tries to persuade her by saying he'll keep her warm, and that they're just having some innocent fun.
The song has received a variety of interpretations over the years, with some people interpreting the male character's actions as pushy or even aggressive. The song has also been criticized for containing themes of date rape, and in recent years, some radio stations have even decided not to play it. However, others argue that the song is simply a flirtatious and playful duet that's just a product of its time.
Regardless of one's interpretation of the song, "Baby, It's Cold Outside" has remained a beloved holiday classic for over 75 years, and its popularity shows no signs of waning.

And that was in the 1950s. Imagine what he would be saying about the world today.

And while we are commenting about this statement, we are strengthening it by doing so. The funny thing is, we think we are smart because we realize it.. I say we are more naive than those who don't, because we think it's good enought to see it and don't do anything about it.
