    Marc and I really wanted to keep the beauty of the song musically but bring it up to date by setting the conversation in a more contemporary setting (a bar). And, then we changed the parts because let's face it roles have changed. Everyone has run into that certain someone unexpectedly and has had to make the decision of whether to stay or... , well in those cases, the only decision is to stay -- come what may.

    Story Behind the Song
    Marc and I did this song without any real intention of using it or recording it but we had so much fun doing it that it stuck in the back of our minds. The big hurdle was convincing Marc to record it because he doesn't sing (or so he says). Now we're both glad we did. We did 6 takes of it and loved each one. They were all different because we didn't plan our "conversation" or phrasing we just did it. It was really hard to choose one to "release" cuz they all had their own style.

    Lyrics
    Ad lib - Intro


    Barb: I really can't stay
    Marc: But Barbara it's cold outside
    Barb: No, I've got to go way
    Marc: I mean it's really cold outside
    Barb: To see you again
    Marc: Been hopin that you'd drop in
    Barb: So very nice
    Marc: I'll hold your hand they feel like ice
    Barb: My Daddy'll will start to worry
    Marc: Don't, what's your hurry
    Barb: At least he'll be pacing the floor
    Marc: Listen to the fireplace roar
    Barb: No I'd better scurry
    Marc: What's your worry honey
    Barb: Well, maybe just a half a drink more



    Barb: Someone might think
    Marc: But baby it's bad out there
    Barb: Say what's in this drink
    Marc: I don't see no cabs out there
    Barb: I wish I knew how
    Marc: Your eyes are like starlite now
    Barb: To break your spell
    Marc: Please relax, I'll never tell
    Barb: I ought to say No
    Marc: Can I move in closer
    Barb: At least I'll say that I tried
    Marc: Just want to be by your side
    Barb: I really can't stay
    Marc: Don't hold out
    Both: Baby it's cold outside


    Ad lib





    Marc: I simply must go
    Barb: But Marc it's real cold outside
    Marc: The answer is no
    Barb: But baby it's so cold outside
    Marc: To see you has been
    Barb: Lucky that you dropped in
    Marc: So nice and warm
    Barb: Look out the window at that storm
    Marc: My wife will get suspicious
    Barb: Mmmm your lips look delicious
    Marc: The brothers might be done by the door
    Barb: I've heard it all before
    Marc: My mistress she can be vicious
    Barb: Those lips are just delicious
    Marc: Well may be just another hit more



    Barb: I've to go home
    Marc: But baby you'd freeze out there
    Barb: Then lend me your coat
    Marc: It's up to your knees out there
    Barb: Marc, you're my kind of man
    Marc: Don't, Don't
    Barb: But don't you see
    Marc: Do this thing again to me
    Barb: There's bound to be talk tomorrow
    Marc: Think of life's sorrows
    Barb: At least there'll be plenty implied
    Marc: Want to be by your side
    Barb: I really can't stay
    Marc: Baby don't hold out


    Both: Baby it's cold outside
