He chants, “Text me when you get home” and urges her to go before the blizzard gets dangerous. The original second chorus opens with the same excuse of the man repeating the titular line and other weather-related excuses for the woman to stay, while Legend’s later half of the song delves into his respectable gestures.
New: 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) Original: I simply must go ( But baby, it’s cold outside)/ The answer is no ( But baby, it’s cold outside)/ Your welcome has been ( How lucky that you dropped in)/ So nice and warm ( Look out the window at that storm) He echoes, “It’s your body and your choice” after Clarkson chimes, “If I have one more drink?” to further emphasize its sensitivity to the #MeToo movement, which sparked a Cleveland, Ohio radio station ban of the original “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” New: 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).” Original: 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 this 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 in hurtin’ my pride?)” Legend also adds a bit of playfulness to the tune by teasing Clarkson for still living with her parents.
#Baby its cold outside driver#
Murray the driver plays an integral part of her getaway, something she wasn’t afforded with the song’s first go-around. New: My mother will start to worry (I’ll call a car and tell ‘em 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) Original: My mother will start 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)/ But maybe just a half a drink more ( Put some records on while I pour) Legend is actually the date who lets the woman leave when she says she wants to and will even grab her ride. The EGOT winner flips the initial script of the man dissuading the woman from leaving him because it’s too cold for her homebound trip. New: “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) Original: “I really can’t stay ( But baby it’s cold outside)/ I’ve got to away ( 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)
