Baby, It’s Cold Outside Lyrics by Bette Midler

For the Boys (Music from the Motion Picture)

1991

(Bette:) I really can't stay
(James:) But baby, it's cold outside
(B:) I got to go 'way
(J:) But baby, it's cold outside
(B:) This evening has been
(J:) Been hopin' that you'd drop in
(B:) so very nice
(J:) I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
(B:) My mother will start to worry
(J:) Beautiful, what's your hurry?
(B:) My father will be pacing the floor
(J:) Listen to that fireplace roar
(B:) So really I'd better scurry
(J:) Beautiful, please don't hurry
(B:) Well, maybe just a half a drink more
(J:) Put some records on while I pour
(B:) You know the neighbors might think
(J:) But baby, it's bad out there
(B:) Er, what's in this drink?
(J:) No cabs to be had out there
(B:) I wish I knew how
(J:) Your eyes are like starlight now
(B:) to break this spell
(J:) I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
(B:) I ought to say no, no, no sir
(J:) Mind if I move in closer?
(B:) At least I'm gonna say that I tried
(J:) What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?
(B:) I really can't stay
(J:) Baby, don't hold out
(B:) ah, but it's cold outside
(J:) Baby, it's cold outside
(B:) Ah, but it's cold outside
(J:) Baby, it's cold outside
