I met her in a snowstorm, I was outdoors plowing She just walked up to me and said "Hey boy how's it going?" I admired her straightforwardness and brushed away my fringe As a signal of well being and excepting her challenge We went home to her place and cooked up some chili It warmed us from the inside 'cause the outside was chilly, we Had to be quiet to not wake up her family But I made a high-pitch sound when her cold fingers touched me, she said: "Shh, please be quiet. I know you don't want to but please deny it." She said: "Shh, please be quiet. I know you don't want to but please deny it." When people think of Sweden I think they have the wrong idea Like Cliff Richards, who thought it was just p**n and gonorrhea And Lou Reed said in the film Blue in the Face That compared to New York City, Sweden was a scary place They seem to have a point after meeting with this girl Maybe not Cliff Richards but Lou had surely met her
The doubt in her eyes when I said I wanted to kiss her For the sake of liking her not because of the blizzard, she said: "Shh, please be quiet. I know you don't want to but please deny it." She said: "Shh, please be quiet. I know you don't want me but please deny it." 'Cause the cold Swedish winter is right outside And I just want somebody to hold me through the night The cold Swedish winter is right outside And I just want somebody to hold me through the night In 2000 years this place will be covered by ice And the people who dig us up will be in for a big surprise After carefully studying our calcium nourished bones They'll find enclosed, our hearts of stone, singing that The cold Swedish winter is right outside And I just want somebody to hold me through the night The cold Swedish winter is right outside And I just want somebody to hold me through the night
