Baby, It's Cold Outside (Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews)

I really can't stay - But baby, it's cold outside 
I've got to go away - Ah, 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 
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to that fireplace roar 
So really I'd better scurry - Oh beautiful, please don't hurry 
Maybe just a half a drink more - Why don't you put some records on while I pour 
The neighbours might think - Oh baby, it's bad out there 
Say, what's in this drink - There's 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 ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer 
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense of hurting my pride 
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out 
Ahh, but it's cold outside 

I simply must go - Oh, baby, it's cold outside 
The answer is no - You know it's cold outside 
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in 
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm 
My sister will be suspicious - Oh, your lips look delicious 
My brother will be there at the door - Like waves upon a tropical shore 
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Eww, your lips are delicious 
Well maybe just a cigarette more - Never such a blizzard before 
I've got to go home - Ah, baby, you would freeze out there 
Say, lend me a comb - You know it's up to your knees out there 
You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch my hand 
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me 
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow 
At least there will plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died 
I really can't stay - Get over that old out 
Ah but it's cold outside
