I really can't stay (baby, it's cold outside) I gotta go away (baby, it's cold outside) This evening has been (been hoping that you'd dropped 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 hurry) Well maybe just a half a drink more I'll put some records on while I pour The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there) Say what's in this drink? (no carbs to be had out there) 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 sir (mind if I move in 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 Alex, are you gonna stay? Uhh, no Again, if you want a drink? Oh yeah? What kind of drink? A kinda lasso Let me think about it ♪ I simply must go (baby, it's cold outside) The answer is no (but 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 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 get home 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 feel when I touch your hand) But don't you see? How can you do this thing to me? There's bound to be a 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 old out) Baby, it's cold outside Okay, just one more song
