I really can't stay- baby it's cold outside
Got to go away - baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - 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 watch you're wearing
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 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 swell
I ought to say no no sir - Mind if closerI move in
At least I'm going to say that 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 simply must go - Baby it's cold outside
The answer is no -Baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been - Baby it's cold outside
So nice and warm -Look out the window at the 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
But maybe just a cigarette more- Never such a blizzard before
I got to get home- But baby you'd freeze out there
Say lend me a comb- 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 there will be plenty implied- If you caught pneumonia and died
You know I really can't stay- Get over that hold ou
but it's cold outside
