Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott
Baby It’s Cold Inside
[Verse 1]
You really must go
I've forgotten my fleece
Blockaded by snow
I'll call the police

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Theatre queues, traditional pubs
Unwanted touches and overlong hugs
From Alcatraz to Wormwood Scrubs
Baby, it's cold, your chat up line's old
Baby it's cold inside

[Chorus]
You've tried being subtle, you've ended up rude
In between sarcastic, foul mouthed, and crude
But this gathering storm is not one you brewed
Baby, it's cold inside

[Verse 2]
You're ruining my night
You'll soon change your mind
Let's kiss and not fight
Go kiss my behind

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Driving instructor's hand on the knee
Too drunk to drive or just lost his key
Stick 'em in slammer at the old HMP
Baby, it's cold, maybe he's bold
But baby, he's better inside
[Chorus]
You've tried being subtle, you've ended up rude
In between sarcastic, foul mouthed, and crude
But this gathering storm is not one you brewed
Baby, it's cold inside

[Bridge]
You've told him that he's ugly, implied that you're gay
STD you're carrying, it just won't go away
Tell him that you'll call police, see what they might say
Baby, it's cold inside

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Once they get started, rarely it stops
Arm round your shoulder at Top of the Pops
Only a punch or a slap round the chops
Baby, it's cold; he's tightened his hold
Baby, he's better inside

[Chorus]
You've tried being subtle, you've ended up rude
In between sarcastic, foul mouthed, and crude
But this gathering storm is not one you brewed
Baby, it's cold inside
