Williams, Vanessa - Baby, It's Cold Outside Lyrics






I really can't stay
But baby it's cold outside
I've got to go 'way
But 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?
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour.

The neighbors might think
But baby it's bad out there
Say 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
I'll take your hat your hair looks swell.

I oughta say no no no sir
Mind if I move a bit closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Oh baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go

But baby it's cold outside
The answer is no
Ooh baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm.

My sister will be suspicious
My 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
Well maybe just a half-a-drink more
Never such a blizzard before.

I've got to get home
But baby you'd freeze out there
Say lend me a comb
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
Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old doubt,
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside

It's cold out side.
It's cold out side.

  4. s.... ....

    Beautiful photo. Interesting version.

  5. l.... ....

    Why would Babyface's songs be blocked? Is it something that he put through to protect his work?

  6. S.... M....

    ariana grande did a better job... unless you like this 80-90 sound

  7. H.... O....

    Baby - great song!
    Vanessa Williams - great voice!
    Thanks.

  8. G.... P....

    Thumbs up if your listening to this song in 2012 (almost 2013)!!!!

  9. w.... ....

    One of my favorite versions is by Ray Charles & Betty Carter. I think they too, capture that flirty, boozy, 50's flavor. btw what is the original version?

  10. C.... S....

    her voiced used with dean martins would be great, best version so far,

  11. G.... M....

    totally agree!!! i was looking for this song but i didnt know who sang this version. they need to play this on the radio in their rotations regularly!! love it!!!

  12. F.... ....

    IMO this is the best version I've ever heard. Good work Vanessa and Bobby.

  13. s.... ....

    I really love this version of the popular Christmas classic..Vanessa Williams is always great,and I love everything that Bobby Caldwell does. I also recommend: The Spirit of hristmas by John Starley Allen...It will bring back a flood of holiday memories...
    Happy Holidays!

  14. J.... C....

    No problem. Thanks for listening!

  16. p.... ....

    Thanks... I appreciate you answering me back.

  17. 3.... ....

    No, I sure don't. Babyface's songs tend to be blocked on YouTube, so that may be why you can't find it :(

  18. 3.... ....

    Which means you're one of the twins =)

  19. T.... C....

    thats my dad!

    VANESSA WILLIAMS IS A GREAT SINGER SO I AM NOT SURPRISED THAT I LOVE HER VERSION. I HAVE NEVER HEARD IT THIS FAST BEFORE BUT IT'S GREAT.

  24. s.... ....

    @stevevandien Supposedly that average looking girl: Jennifer Aniston was awarded the Sexiest Woman of ALL TIME. Yeah, and I'm the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Jennifer Aniston ain't got nothing on Venessa Williams. I would marry just the bedsheets she lays on everynight. Geezus, nothing flawed on this women. Jennifer?? Hahhh... I still can't get over that.

    bobby and vanessa sings the best version of this song

  43. H.... O....

    Vanessa Williams is just amazing - so much talent in multiple arts. What a voice !

  44. C.... ....

    This is the best version of this song that I've heard. But I'm a Vanessa Williams fan too. What Can I Say?

  45. B.... ....

    My mom adores this album. :)

  46. e.... ....

    This is a great song remake

  47. e.... ....

    She has a great voice even today. Vanessa willams has come along way. And with degnity

  48. J.... F....

    this has GOT TO BE THE ALLL TIME WORST VERSION OF THIS SONG EVER wtf were you thinking remaking this song with such a horrible twist on it with ur disgustiong whiney voice you have just successfully ruined my FAVORITE christmas song. so thank you very little you stupid idiots for not being original and having to constantly re-make classics. maybe you should try writing YOUR OWN music for a change not just jack up some one elses hard work.

  49. M.... ....

    for a white guy he got it going,he begging worse than barry white. this is best one since dean and martina.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat....................................

  50. 3.... ....

    FYI: I approve ALL comments on my videos before they are posted because of spam and porn, so you don't have to post numerous times. Thanks!!!

  51. l.... ....

    Another great version of this song. Two very different voices blended together for a very nice duet. Vanessa Williams and Bobby Caldwell are part of our American Music History.

  52. D.... W....

    @TwoSlew Yeah, this is an example of making a song "politically correct" which is ridiculous. Just skip that verse or leave it alone...

  53. m.... ....

    @TwoSlew Well as Frank Sinatra sang "One More for the Road" :p

  54. L.... U....

    They changed the line from "maybe just a cigarette more" to "maybe just a half a drink more"! Cigarettes are bad, Alcohol is GOOD! Oh Yeah, you always want to have a half a drink more before you get into your car to drive home. Maybe, if you're lucky, when they cops pull you over and give you a breathalyzer, that half a drink more will be just enough to kick out a reading of .08 or higher.. Have yourself a half a drink more before you get in your car and drive. Cigarettes are BAD!

  55. m.... s....

    My all time favorite version....

  56. C.... ....

    she is a goddess!!!

  57. E.... ....

    This song defines the beginning of the christmas season for me. <3

  58. k.... k....

    One of my favorite ladies, all class and substance.

  59. k.... k....

    One of my favorite ladies.

  60. p.... ....

    Bobby Caldwell MAKES this song! Wow!!!

  61. H.... ....

    she hasn't aged a day

  62. J.... ....

    Bobby Caldwell's unique and smooth voice really elevates this version---the best one I've ever heard.

  63. B.... ....

    She sounds great, but she shoulda gotten someone that could sing lower that she can.

  64. p.... ....

    one of my all time favorites .. :) thank you!!

  65. N.... C....

    This is the best rendition, EVER!

  66. C.... R....

    yes, it is Wilhemina and she does it all,

  67. p.... ....

    Absolutely the best version of this song! That man could get me to stay!
