Lyrics

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 watch you're wearing
And 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 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 in closer
At least I'm going to say that I tried- what's the sense of hurtin my pride
I really can't stay- baby don't hold out
(Guy) -baby it's cold outside
(Girl) -ah, 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 shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious- oooh your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more- never such a blizzard before
I got to get home- but baby you'd freeze out there
Say lend me a coat- it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand- a 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 caught pneumonia and died
(I really can't stay- get over that old doubt
(Both) baby it's cold
(Both) ah, but it's cold outside
