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 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 neighbours might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be heard 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
Well, thank you, I ought to say no, no, no, sir
You mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Baby, don't hold out
Baby, it's cold outside
You're very pushy, you know?
I know
♪
I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
Who's afraid of the snow?
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 shore
My aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh, your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just one cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I already had smoked
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
You've really been grand
I feel when I touch your hand
But don't you see?
How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong 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
Baby, it's cold outside
OK, maybe just one more drink
