You see, it's cold outside
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
Now really I've got to 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 - 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 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 - oh, baby don't hold out
Ah, but (baby) it's cold outside
♪
Hmmm
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 - 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 shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - mmmm, your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more - never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home - but, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch my hand
Oh, 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
I really can't stay - get over that hold out
Ah, but (baby) it's cold
You know it's cold outside?
Yeah
