Baby It's Cold Outside SNL Parody Lyrics by Jimmy Fallon and Cecily Strong

The Baby It's Cold Outside Parody by Jimmy Fallon and Cecily Strong really struck a cord with modern dating. It tackles the push and pull between lust and love, and what happens after you decide it is too cold to go home that night. This song gives us singletons a reassuring feeling that we are all 'nervous' when it comes opening your heart... 

I listened carefully and wrote the lyrics below! Enjoy. 

Baby It's Cold Outside Parody
By: Jimmy Fallon and Cecily Strong

I really can’t stay
But baby it’s cold outside 
I’ve got to go 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 their just like ice 
My mother will start to worry 
Beautiful what’s your hurry? 
My father will be pacing the floor 
Listen to the fire place roar 
I really can’t stay 
Baby don’t go out 
Oh but it’s cold outside 

Twelve Minutes Later...

So should I call you a cab? 
But baby it’s cold outside 
You know it’s really not bad 
You said it was cold outside 
You can still catch the bus 
I’ll make breakfast for us... 
It’s a few blocks away 
Tomorrow we’ll hang out all day

I have an early thing tomorrow 
Got a toothbrush I can borrow? 
I have a meeting at my work 
At last a guy who isn’t a jerk 
You really can’t stay 
It’s starting to storm out 
But baby it’s warm outside 

Are we still on for next weekend? 
I have no idea what you’re talking about 
You said you take me antique-ing 
I have no idea what you’re talking about 
You said it when you 
Right 
Bought me those drinks 
Baby I said a lot of things 

Do you really think I could act 
Can’t believe I said that 
You know this isn’t my coat 
Can you take the trash when you go? 
We should stay up late 
She’s not getting it 
But baby it’s warm/cold outside 

Hello 
Hey man you want to hang out? 
Oh Of course the important meeting 
What are you talking about? 
The meeting got pushed even earlier? 
Oh are you with a girl? 
Yes that’s correct 
Then I’ll leave you alone 
Okay boss I’ll see you in the morn 

Do you mind if I sleep in this? 
This is getting too serious… 
You know I’m just as nervous as you… But who knows what this could turn into 
I don’t know what to do 
Here’s a clue 
*KISS* 
Baby it’s cold outside.

Textual Chemistry

If I have to say it, I will (borrowing a quote from an ex-something) please stop Tindering and thinking it's dating.

In fact - if there is one thing I've learned from inflicting my dating 'lifestyle' on my friends, it's this: less talk, more action. 

I'm sure you've found yourself say "But we got along so well in texts but when we met - nothing...". 

From eHarmony to OKCupid to Tinder, I find the more I talk, the more an image of my dream man forms, despite what's in his profile. 

I remember going to see an apartment for rent in the centre of downtown Vancouver. It was a bachelor suite for only $800/month. I looked at all the photos, reviewed it's central location, even analyzed the square footage and I thought to myself "This is it - this is my dream apartment, nothing can deter me!". I came with my first months rent in hand, and then it happened. All that textual chemistry did not prepare me for the nothingness I felt when I actually visited. The exterior exposed massive cracks, not to mention the crackheads that were walking nearby. The hallways smelt of smoke (I never thought I'd need a non-smoking apartment), and the actual suite looked like it barely survived an earthquake.  My chemistry was well thought-out, but it wasn't real.

The same can be said for dating. The longer you chat over text, the more disappointed you'll be in person. This doesn't mean they're bad people, but they will never be who you think they are... because who you think they are, doesn't exist. 

I'm not saying don't have expectations, but keep your expectations firmly grounded in reality. If he says he's a bartender that likes to play video games - don't assume he's dressed in a bowtie at the Fairmont and plays video games ironically. Same can be said for my apartment. If it's $800/month, I shouldn't have assumed it was because people in this city don't like 1920's character buildings. Be real.

Online dating puts it all out front. What would normally take 2-3 dates to learn about someone, they give you upon sign up.  They do this to turn an awkward online meetup into first date material. Don't use this material as a launching off point for a week of texting and emails - use it to get their number and set up a date.

Textual chemistry is great, but sexual chemistry is even better. Take some chances, get out from behind your computer and phone screens, and meet real people. Who knows,  you may actually find someone you have real chemistry with, no texting required.
