I'd be glad to stay right here with you

Fact is, that is what I'd planned to

But from that fool look on your face

I think I'll head South   to a warmer place

 

Thought I'd given you the best of me

I'd be glad to share the rest of me

But there's a chill in your embrace

So, I'd better head South   to a warmer place

 

Seems like yesterday we could kiss and build a fire

But now it's ten below

Seems like yesterday nights were warm with love's desire

But now it feels like snow

 

I don't mind a cold day now and then

But this long deep freeze has done me in

And it's too late to plead your case

So I'm goin' South to a warmer place

 

<instrumental-full chorus>

 

I don't mind a cold day now and then

But this long deep freeze has done me in

And it's too late to plead your case

So I'd better go South     to a warmer place
