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]
