This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I really can't stay (baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way (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 the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful, please don't hurry)
Well, maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (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 the spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (oh, baby, don't hold out)
Oh but it's cold outside (baby, it's cold outside)
I simply must go (baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but, baby, it's cold outside)
This 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 (gee, your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (did I say your lips are delicious)
Well, maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)
I've got to get home (but, baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say, lend me your coat (it's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (I'm thrilled when you touch my hand)
Why 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 hold out)
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Baby it's cold out, baby it's cold outside
I've got to go 'way (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 the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful, please don't hurry)

Baby it's cold out, baby it's cold outside

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Yes, the song was written for her daughter, Millie, who at the time was only six weeks old. She's around 15/16 now. It's a very sweet song, about loving you child.
Oooo, dandy. I get to be the first to comment!
"Baby, baby The stars are shining for you And just like me I'm sure that they adore you. "
^Luv these lines. I'm partial to anything mentioning the stars... awwww
I think the meaning of the song is fairly obvious... when viewed in the sense that she's so in love with the guy she's with... and can't believe that he's hers. And the beat is so up-beat, and friendly.
**I forgot, in the CD it mentions being dedicated to someone who I interpret to be literally a baby... I'm sry... I don't have it with me, but doesn't it say something about a six-week year old that inspired her???
It made me wonder. That much I remember. It made me wonder if myabe something happened (bad, that is) to the baby. But then, I doubt it. The song has such a happy feeling about it.
Heh heh... In the video clip, she is flirting with this guy, who was just a model or actor even though she was married to Gary Chapman at the time.
The song is apparently about her recent baby (at the time), Millie.
:) I love this song. Cos it works as love song,but I know how she felt when she wrote it. Rough absolute shite day,come in the door and there's a little light from heaven that runs to you or you to them,depending on their size&age. :)
