Baby, It’s Cold Outside

[Verse 1: Kelly Clarkson & John Legend]

I really can't stay (Baby, it's cold outside)

I've got to go away (But, I can call you a ride)

This evening has been (I'm so glad that you dropped in)

So very nice (Time spent with you is paradise)

My momma will start to worry (I'll call the car and tell him to hurry)

My daddy will be pacing the floor (Wait, what are you still livin' home for?)

So, really, I'd better scurry (Your driver, his name is Murray)

But maybe just a half a drink more (Oh, we're both adults, so who's keepin' score?)

What will my friends think? (I think they should rejoice)

If I have one more drink? (It's your body and your choice)

Ooh, you really know how (Your eyes are like starlight now)

To cast a spell (One look at you and then I fell)

I ought to say, "No, no, no, sir" (Then you really ought to go, go, go)

At least I'm gonna say that I tried (Well, Murray, he just pulled up outside)

[Chorus: Kelly Clarkson, John Legend & Both]

Oh, I really can't stay

(I understand, baby)

Baby, it's cold outside

[Verse 2: Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Murray]

I simply should go (Text me when you get home)

Oh, I'm supposed to say no (Mm, I guess that's respectable)

This welcome has been (I've been lucky that you dropped in)

So nice and warm (But you better go before it storms)

My sister will be suspicious (Well, gosh your lips look delicious)

My brother will be there at the door (Oh, he loves my music, baby, I'm sure)

My gossipy neighbor is vicious (I'm a genie, tell me what your wish is)

But maybe just a cigarette more (Oh, that's somethin' we should probably explore)

I've got to get home (Oh, baby, I'm well aware)

Say, lend me a coat (Oh, keep it girl, I don't care)

You've really been grand (I feel it when you touch my hands)

But don't you see? (I want you to stay, it's not up to me)

There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Well, they can talk, but what do they know?)

At least there will be plenty implied (Oh, let them mind their business and go-)

Uh, ma'am, I really can't stay

Murray just go on

[Chorus: Kelly Clarkson & Both]

It's cold, baby

It's cold, baby

But, ooh, I don't wanna go

It's cold outside
