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 father will be
pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't hurry
Well maybe just a
half a drink more
Put some records onwhile 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 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
baby it's cold outside
I simply must go
baby it's cold outside
The answer is no
baby it's cold outside
The 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
Gosh your lips look delicious
My brother will be
there at the door
Waves upon a tropical storm
My maiden
aunt's mind is vicious
Oh your lips are delicious
Maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home
But 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'm thrilled
when you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do
this thing to me
By 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
Ohhh baby it's cold outside
