I really can't stay – But baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away – But 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?
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
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 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
Oh, but it's cold outside
I simply must go – But, baby, it's cold outside.
The answer is no – But, baby, it's cold outside.
This 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 storm.
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious – Oh, your lips are delicious.
Maybe just a cigarette more – Never such a blizzard before.
I've got to go home – But, 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'm thrilled when you touch my hand
But don't you see – How can you do this thing to me?
ByThere'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
I really can't stay – Get over that hold out
Ohhh, baby it's cold outside
