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 music 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 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 Oh baby it's cold outside
I simply must go - But baby, it's cold outside The answer is no - But baby, it's cold outthere This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm My sister will be suspicious - God, your lips look delicious My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - God your lips are delicious Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Oh, 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 But 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've got pneumonia and died I really can't stay - Get over that old out Baby it's cold outside
