Don't forbid me to hold you tight

a-darlin', don't-a forbid me to hold you tight

Let me hold you in my lovin' arms

'cause it's cold and I can keep you warm



a-don't-a forbid me to kiss your lips

a-darlin' don't-a forbid me to kiss your lips

Let me kiss you please, baby, please

'cause it's cold and your lips might freeze



Well, there's a strong West wind a-blowin'

And there's a big blue moon above

And, pretty baby, I've been knowin'

You need some heart-warmin' love



So don't-a forbid me to talk sweet talk

Darlin' don't-a forbid me to talk sweet talk

Let me fill your little heart with fire

'cause it's cold, so don't forbid my desire



It's so cold (it's so cold)

So don't forbid-a my desire

(Don't forbid my desire)
