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 cold as ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listin to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Oh, maybe just one 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 the spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
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 use in hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
Baby, it's cold outside
Your welcome has been
Baby, it's cold outside
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
your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a half a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home
Baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb
It's up to your knees out there
It's really been grand
I'm thrilled 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
Just think about my life long sorrow
At least there'll be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old out
Baby it's cold outside
