I really can't stay (but baby, it's cold outside)
I've gotta go away (but baby, it's cold outside)
Been hopin' that you (been hoping 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 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)
Well, maybe just a 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 that drink (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
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 going to say I tried (what's the sense of hurting my pride)
I really can't stay (baby, don't hold out)
Ah, but it's cold outside

I've gotta get home (but baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say lend me a comb (man, 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 they'll plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and die)
I really can't stay (get over that old doubt)
Ah, but it's cold outside (baby, it's cold outside)
On the other hand you're too warm as I said before
What was that? (Well I thought I'd lock the door)
You see there was a draft blowing in
And it's getting kind of chilly out there
Gulp, what was that? (I swallowed the key)
You're Villian (but you're so thrilling)
Baby, it's cold outside
