I got my brand on you There ain't nothin' you can do baby There ain't nothin' you can do honey Oh you may go away and leave me girl, I declare you can't stay You gonna come runnin' back to me some lonesome day There ain't nothin' you can do darlin' Oh

And I can't tell you why I can't tell you why Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live Through years in the dark?

I really can't stay But, baby, it's cold outside Ahh, but it's cold outside I 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, they're just like ice

Tell me where you're hiding your voodoo doll 'Cause I can't control myself, I don't wanna stay, I wanna run away But I'm trapped under your spell. And it hurts in my head and my heart and my chest, Won't you please stop loving me to death? And I'm having
