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 the fireplace roar
Now really I'd better scurry
Sweetheart, what's your hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some record 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
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks well
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move a little 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
Ohh, but it's cold outside
Hmm
It's nice and comfortable in here, isn't it honey?
Yeah
I simply must go
But baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
But baby, it's cold outside
The welcome has been
So lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
God, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
Oh my maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Mh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I gotta get home
You'll freeze to the bone out there
Say, lend me a coat
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I swell 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 - Think of my lifelong sorrow
Well at least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
But it's cold
You know it's cold outside?
Yea
