Outside
Suntree Feat. Sharon Lyrics

I really can't stay (but baby, it's cold outside)
I want to leave, but the weather is too cold outside

I've got to go away (but baby, it's cold outside)
I need to leave, but it's too cold to go out

This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in)
I was looking forward to your visit this evening

So very nice (i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
It was really pleasant seeing you, but your hands are very cold

My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry?)
My mother will become anxious if I don't leave soon (despite wanting to stay longer with you)

My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
My father will be restless, but he'll have the comforting sound of the fireplace to keep him company

So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry)
I should leave, but I don't want to rush our goodbye

But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
I'll have a little more to drink and we can listen to some music while I do

The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Other people may perceive the weather as dangerous and not understand why I'm staying

Say what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)
I'm curious as to what's in my drink, but it doesn't really matter because there are no cabs available to go home

I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
I'm overwhelmed by your beauty and wish I knew how to react to it properly

To break this spell (i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I want to end this intense moment by helping you get ready to leave and showing you how much I admire you

I ought to say, no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
I should say no to your advances, but I can't resist moving in closer to you

At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)
I'll try to resist your advances, but I don't want to hurt your feelings or my own pride

I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside)
I really need to leave, despite the cold weather outside

The answer is no (but baby, it's cold outside)
I can't agree to stay, because it's too cold outside

Your welcome has been(how lucky that you dropped in)
I'm so grateful that you came to visit

So nice and warm (look out the window at this dawn)
It's so cozy and warm inside, and the dawn outside is beautiful

My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
My sister may get the wrong idea about us because of how good you look right now

My brother will be there at the door (waves upon the tropical shore)
My brother will be waiting for me at the door, imagining himself on a tropical beach

My maiden aunts mind is vicious (gosh your lips are delicious)
My aunts may gossip and spread rumors because of how much I enjoy being with you

But maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)
I'll stay a little longer, have one more cigarette, and continue enjoying our time together, even though there's never been such a blizzard before

I've gotta get home(but baby, you'd freeze out there)
As much as I want to stay with you, I need to go because you would freeze outside

Say lend me a coat(it's up to your knees out there)
Can I borrow a coat from you? The snow is knee-deep outside

You've really been grand (i thrill when you touch my hand)
You've been amazing while I've been here, and I'm still excited every time we touch

But don't you see? (how can you do this thing to me?)
Do you not see how hard it is for me to leave you and the warmth of your home?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
People will talk about us tomorrow, and I'll worry about how it may affect my future reputation and relationships

At least there will be plenty implied (if you got pnuemonia and died)
Even if people don't say anything directly, they will imply that I'm at fault if you get sick and die because I stayed too long

Baby, it's cold outside
It's cold outside
