"You Never Know Who You'll Meet at Barnes & Noble" You never know who you'll meet at Barnes & Noble. (Lyrics) I said I really can't stay Baby, it's cold outside I have to go away Baby, it's cold outside I wish I knew how Your eyes are like starlight now To break this spell I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell I ought to say no, no, no sir Mind if I move in closer At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the sense of hurting my pride I really can't stay Baby, it's cold outside Barnes & Noble
