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
My father will be pacing the floor Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry Beautiful please don't worry
Well maybe just a half a drink more Put some music 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 starlight
To break the spell I'll take your hat your hair looks swell
I ought to say no no no sir Mind if I move closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay But darling don't hold out
Ahh but it's cold outside
I simply must go Baby it's cold outside
The answer is no Ooh darling it's cold outside
This welcome has been I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious Man your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home Oh baby you'll freeze out there
Say lend me your 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 caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay Get over that hold out
Baby it's cold outside
