I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
But baby, it's cold outsideThis evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like iceMy mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roarSo really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pourNeighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out thereI wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swellI 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 outsideI simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
Oh, the answer is no
Baby, it's cold outsideYour welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that stormMy sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shoreMy maiden aunt's mind is so vicious
Your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard beforeI've got to go home
Maybe you'll freeze out there
Say lend me your coatIt's up to your knees out thereYou'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 diedI really can't stay
Get over that old doubt
Baby, it's cold outside
