I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
I've 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 ic
My mom will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My dad will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fire place roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
But maybe just half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors 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 star light
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say: "No, no, no, sir"
Do you mind if I move in a bit closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go
But baby, it's cold outside
The answer is "No"
Oh~but baby, it's cold outside
The welcome has been
I'm so lucky that you dropped in
So very warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh! your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Oh~ your lips are delicious
But maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home
But baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me a coat?
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
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 got pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that hold out
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
