I really can't stay But baby 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 My mother will start to worry Beautiful, what's your hurry? My father will be pacing the floor Listen to the fireplace roar So really, I'd better scurry Beautiful, please don't hurry But maybe just a half a drink more I'll put some records on while I pour The neighbours might think Baby, it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink? No cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how Your eyes are like starlight tonight To break this spell I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell I ought to say, no, no, no sir Oh, mind if I move in closer? At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the sense in hurting my pride? I really can't stay But baby, don't hold out But baby it's cold outside! I simply must go But baby, it's cold outside The answer is no, no, no Aw baby, it's cold outside Your welcome has been How lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm Look out the window at that storm My sister will be suspicious Um gosh, your lips are delicious And my brother will be there at the door Waves on a tropical shore My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Oh gosh, your lips are so delicious But maybe just a cigarette more Oh never such a blizzard before I've got to get home But baby, you'll freeze out there Say lend me your coat Oh up to your knees out there You've really been grand I thrill when you touch my hand But you don't see, no, no How can you do this thing to me? There's bound to be talk tomorrow Think of my life long sorrow At least there will be plenty implied If you cought pneumonia and died But I really can't stay Get over that whole doubt But baby it's cold outside!
