I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away
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
And my father will be pacing the floor
Just listen to that fireplace roar
Now really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some records on while I pour
All the neighbors might think
But baby it's bad out there
Say what's in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
Oh 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
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
Baby don't hold out
Oh but it's cold outside
Oh I've got to go home
You'll freeze out there
Say lend me a comb
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
Oh there's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my lifelong sorrow
Well at least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
But I really can't stay
Get over that old out
Baby it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
