When the temperature dips I miss my baby's arms His tender finger tips Knows just how to keep me warm It may be zero degrees With the snow falling down But I've got warm and tender love Just as long as he's around [Chorus] It may be winter outside But in my heart it's spring How much joy and pleasure, baby Can one guy bring me Winter nights can be awful cold Without someone to hold But when I have him next to me Baby, I'm in ecstasy [Chorus] Throughout my life I've had my share of guys But he's been the only one Who can make my temperature rise Things are just not the same When he's not by my side But yet, I shouldn't complain But be waiting with my arms open wide [Chorus: x3]
