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 straight-forwardness   and brushed away my fringe   as a signal of well-being   and accepting her challenge      We went home to her place   and cooked up some chili   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 pitched sound   when her cold fingers touched me      She said "shhh   please be quiet   I know you don't want to   but please deny it"      She said "shhh   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   porn 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 has surely met her      The doubt in her eyes   when I said I wanted to kiss her   for the sake of liking her   and not because of the blizzard      She said "shhh   please be quiet   I know you don't want to   but please deny it"      She said "shhh   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 two thousand years   this place will be covered by ice   and the people who will 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 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
