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 And my father will be pacing the floor - Just listen to the fireplace roar Now really I'd better scurry - Sweetheart, what's your hurry Well maybe just a half a drink more - Just put some record on while I pour
All the neighbors might think - But baby, it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there Oh 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, no, sir - Mind if I move a little 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 Ohh, but it's cold outside
